I grew up skateboarding and taking the trams to get around my city. Many of my friends did not, and were driven everywhere. For them, once they were able to get a car and their license, being an adult and synonymous with driving yourself places - because that's what they always experienced.

There are so many benefits to public transit and green spaces, but most people have never experienced them and can't fathom why anyone would want to let go of their individual mobility and sense of adulthood. Which sucks.
