Public transportation is a abomination — a stupid socialist scheme to further chip away at our individuality. Can’t afford a car?

That’s sad for you, but NOT MY PROBLEM! Get a bicycle.

Roads too crowded? Well, then WIDEN them — or build more. You get extra points if you build them as privately owned toll roads.

You speak my heart. I spent the last year in Stockholm riding trains and busses. Both of which, pick you up were you aren't and take you to not quite where you want to be. Luckily, I don't mind walking a little.

It is a horrible experience, overall. Loud, smelly, sometimes packed like tuna. As you said you couldn't develop a more anti-individualist idea if you tried. These particular trains even are even built with the seats facing each other so you are forced to ride while looking at a bunch of strangers.

Not cheap either. I spent probably twice what I pay in gas for two vehicles for unlimited 30 day passes for my family of four.
