It's a cliche, but I guess it's mostly region dependent

I'm confused did you enjoy you trip with those people? If you did why wouldn't you want that again?

I enjoyed all the experiences. But public transportation is significantly more stressful and uncomfortable now, with longer waits, more aggressive searches, overworked and aggravated staff, fewer amenities, bigger expenses, cramped seating, travelers who angrily seek political confrontation, and obnoxious delays. There’s really nothing pleasant about it anymore, hence “it’s more of a hostile endurance test”.

I guess I can see your point.
