>>511440161 (OP)Cars represent freedom in a country too big to walk in. Meanwhile, no rational person wants to be forced to carry their groceries 4 blocks in the snow if there are other options.
In my area, if you work you can take the bus, but that bus stops every 1/2 mile and you arrive at your destination 2 hours after you leave. If you drive, you can be from door to destination in 30 minutes.
