Cars are also REALLY not that convenient. I'm a dad to a four-month-old, and getting to appointments by bus/metro is SO much easier than using the car.

Car:

• Have to get the fucking car seat in the back seat
• Pack stroller in as well
• Drive with potentially screaming kid who feels isolated and lonely, feel like I'm gonna crash at any moment
• Parking lots SUCK to walk around in with a stroller,have to push kid out into the open before I can see around these tall cars and just hope nobody is speeding

Transit:

• Push stroller right on to kneeling bus/level-boarding platform
• can attend to my baby the whole time, no fussing.
• don't have to worry about parking AT ALL

Stroads and shitty civil engineering for "muh freedom". Fucking stroads. I hate almost anywhere I travel in the US because it's all laid out so I almost HAVE to drive anywhere.

Taking your car would be even more convenient if you also had convenient alternatives to driving, to spread out the traffic load.

In my country I think it's $40 and that's it lol

What city?

Because my car is convenient. Nothing you will do in our life time is going to magically convince half the country to invest trillions to make public transport more accessible. So it's about harm reduction at that point. You will never convenience anyone with these tertiary root cause shit.
