I generally miss bussing, but I'd be lying if I said my sleep schedule wasn't vastly improved and my ability to do multiple errands in a day wasn't made possible by buying a car.
Hell, I once attained some unreal level of fitness cause the buses sucked so much it was faster to spend 1-4 hours a day biking everywhere.
Finally reached that sweet spot over the past few years of owning a car, but still living in a relatively walkable spot where I can just forget the car once in a while. Only filling the tank once a month is wonderful.
Realistically, chunks of Amerikkka could arguably find a sweet spot of utilizing public transit if they only worked some 30 hours a week. Then all that time spent waiting and traveling wouldn't hurt half as bad.
