Reason being well, I use them everyday. And they are not sufficiently developed here. I have to walk 20 mins to get to a slow ass shaking train.

Metros I like but stops are far away both to my home and my job. Couple that with the overpopulation and crowdedness it makes a very consuming and tiring experience. Not fun at all when you ride half an hour ass to ass with another person. Especially when you are an introvert.

Busses? I avoid them as much as possible. It is slow, shaky, even less space and more people than metros and trains. I love getting stuck in traffic with strangers breathing in my face.

Mood. Last week the train I was travelling stopped for 20 minutes during rush hour because the infrastructure is constantly falling apart. I got stuck standing in a wagon so full with people that I couldn't move my arms up. The only thing I could think was "humans weren't made to live like this".

Everyone points to cars as the "better" alternative that capitalism presents us, but personally I can't wait to get a motorcycle. Yes I know it's dangerous but honestly being hit by a lorry is starting to look more appealing that having to take one of these trains ever again.
