Yeah that’s my reaction. Also public transportation changed my life for the year and a half I used it, by eating up zn extra hour a day of my life. My 15-minute each way car commute became 50 each way, very consistently. I finally got fed up with it and went back to driving.
Public transit might be great, but it is certainly not ad-free.
At least you didn’t spend $40k for the privilege
Yeah, but I don’t own the bus
Mobile phones and earbuds solve that problem for the most part.
Does it have to be? Are you not exposed to billboards while driving? Radio ads?
Public transit has other benefits. You can read a book, play on your phone, and don’t have to worry about parking.
“Does it have to be? Are you not exposed to billboards while driving? Radio ads?”
Not really in the UK. Minimal bill boards and ad free radio if you stick to the multitude of BBC channels.
At least those ads don’t track you and you can ignore them.
Read a book and it might as well be.
