Data from independent organisations suggests Hybrids don't actually prevent as much emissions on average over traditional ICE cars as thought in real-world use | Just Have A Think (www.youtube.com)

I have a hybrid. I really wish I didn't have to have it, but it's unfortunately the best I can have in my circumstances.

I'd rather not need a car at all, but public transportation is abysmal in my city. I'd rather have an EV over a hybrid, but there are next to no charging spots available to me, and I simply cannot afford a new car, let alone an EV.

The root source of the problem is mismanagement of city resource, and capitalism.

For what it's worth I am working on switching to my e-bike for trips that are possible with it.

If a hybrid is the most viable option in your circumstances, it's still definitely better than a non-hybrid ICE :)
