We don’t want cars, horses, trains, buses and things. They are all means to an end. The means of being able to move from place A to B quickly and in relative comfort.

People select whatever gets that means satisfied at the price they can afford. It’s a demand supply curve.

I take a bus to Seattle everyday even though it slower, but it’s way more confortable than driving. I always get a seat and I can read a book / get work done.

I wouldn’t take a crowded bus though. 545 is so crowded you can smell people’s sweat. I’d go back to driving. I love driving and bobbing my head to good music.

But most of the days, we don’t give a shit. We just want to get to work in morning and get back home in evening. We chose whatever means gets the job done!
