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.

As I said on my other comment I think that the issue is on the phrasing, cause when you say “unpopular opinion I don't like public transit” it seems like you don't like the idea of making public transit the norm, if you said I don't like my local public transit it would be clearer and not even be considered an unpopular opinion my public transit sucks as well, bur I think the solution is a better one rather then individual transport. That said it is not in the least unreasonable to invest in personal transport while it still sucks, it's you making your life easier there's nothing wrong with that, but I still would recommend to advocate pro a better one when and where it would be appropriate
