Exactly. Even if they have 2 incomes, a couple should not need 2 cars. Last time I looked up the street, the bus was still running its usual route. Does everybody now think they’re too fine to hop a bus?
There are no buses where I live...
No..
Hubby and I live in the country.
It is peaceful and virtually crime free.
Our jobs take us to different destinations, one near and one far.
Both cars are older, paid for, and well cared for.
The peace we feel living here is worth not having a bus line.
Not too fine. It's the 90+ mile drive to the nearest bus that is the budget killer.
The nearest 'large' town does have a cab service, but it's cheaper to have and drive a car.

I have never lived anywhere in my entire life where I had city transportation. Good for you on your street. Maybe you haven’t figured out not every one lives in the city???
And in my case, by choice.
as a Depression baby and WWII survivor, I am amazed at what people consider necessities these days. When we were young, we rented modest homes and fixed them up. I stayed at home back then and used my time to do things that cut costs. No frills for the kids, just basic food, clothes & education.
I used to live/work in Phoenix. Lived about five miles from work.
The bus schedule was such it was almost faster to walk that distance.
That was when the bus was running on schedule.
Sometimes, it just didn't show up at all.
Last time I checked the bus at the top of the street would take me over 3 hours to get to work everyday. And that’s just one way to any one of the three stores I can be scheduled to work...
