Sometimes there's no direct public transportation route. I'm in NYC and to get to Queens I have to go through another borough. Or I could do a half hour drive.

Sometimes you just don't want to deal with the crowds. I have an invisible health issue which can make it hard to stand on a bus or train.

I take public transport whenever possible. But I'm not going to say it would be easy to give up cars.

Happy to try a new frontier.

I wasn't much of a TOS viewer, aside from marathons on holiday weekends. I had a feeling that some characters might have been a bit much intentionally (looking at Ortegas) but was really enjoyable. I think I liked not knowing much about what happened.
