You don't need a license to travel; you need a passport. That's it.

I've never had trouble traveling without a car. What you might call inconvenience, I call opportunity.

I've become much more resourceful and resilient without a car. Shit, I appreciate my food more just because I carry it from the store to my house.

America's infatuation with the automobile

All my life I thought tea was either medicine (because that's when we drink tea in my family) or bathwater (green tea). A friend of mine told me the milk curdled when she tried to make "English tea" and asked me if I knew what she had done wrong. I gave it a go. I'm a happier person now

But you should definitely know how to drive one, just in case!

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J I'm not sure where your impression that I've done loads of travelling comes from. I try and go somewhere new every year but I wouldn't classify myself as "a traveller". Usually it's just city breaks, although we had no trouble in the Polish mountains without a car this summer. Honestly, I really have no interest in driving. I live right in the city centre and everything is in walking distance. Work is a 15 minute bus journey away. I don't plan to get a car of my own once I've gained my license. I should be able to use company cars or hire something as and when I need it.

Dunno, just thought I've seen a fair few travel posts from you over the years. Polish mountains sound sketchy without a car though!

Even here in LA I live in an area where I could wlk to everything but not having the option to jump in the car and drive to the beach or the mountains or a forest just seems to be too limiting for me. I'll admit you're fucked here without a car as California is just so expansive, and the infatuation with car culture is dumb (truck culture even more idiotic) but I don't think people ralize the scale of the USA.

If you drive for 5 hours north (the furthest you can go) from say London, you're in the north sea. If you drive for 5 hours north, south or east from LA you haven't even left the state. It's 3000 miles to Florida (which is just as well really ).

I'd love it if LA had a decent transport system but I just don't see it happening in my lifetime. Having a car in places like London, NY, and Paris is just pain though.

Get some Adam a5x's.

What's the incentive to invest in the infrastructure for it? The same applies here in Florida.

No incentive, no one gives a fuck.

Hell, didn't Congress finally just pass a bill - first time in a decade - to fund roads, bridges, and mass transit systems?

That's first time in 10 years. And that's pathetic.

People down here routinely vote against anything that would enhance public transportation: a ferry between Tampa and St. Pete; a local train connecting both cities; more bus routes and extended hours of operation. Now with gas prices back down, no one really doesn't give a fuck lol.

It's the same across the continent. With very few exceptions, it's all about cars.
