And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.

I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

    No, on account of I cannot drive at all. I’m 25 and live in Vermont. The particular part I live in, everything’s accessible by bus, so I’ve just never felt the urgency to learn.

      What happens when you want to go to a place that’s outside of the immediate area you live in?

      I can understand not owning a car (I wouldn’t if I could get away with it), but then having no option for personal transportation, even rented, outside of cities would feel very claustrophobic to me

        The only times I ever want to go anywhere outside of where the busses can take me is when my family is taking me somewhere, in which case somebody else drives me there. The busses go quite a distance though. I can even get to small towns nobody’s ever heard of if I feel like it.

        It’s not like I’m gonna be traveling a huge distance anyway. I live of off 900$ a month, so it’s not like I could afford to go anywhere else if I wanted to.

          I guess growing up in a rural area has given me a different perspective, ever since I was 11 I’ve had some sort of motorised transport and where I currently live has no public transport, so to me not having even a bicycle would feel like I was missing a limb
