    A) I’ve no licence

    B) I’ve no car

    C) The only transport near where I live is a bus every hour.

    D) there are no fast food places near me outside of a Chinese takeaway that’s a 5-10 minute walk up and down steep hills.

        A bike isn’t an option everywhere, especially in the US. My parents are from the Netherlands, where almost everyone bikes almost everywhere. When they moved to the US, my dad biked to work. Once. To my knowledge, in the 30 years they lived here, he’s never decided to try it again.

          One of the games I play on my commute is imagining what the bike route would be like. I looked it up once and every path included a high traffic street with no sidewalk; where I live, that’s straight up flirting with death. Cycling in my area requires a large group and/or limited capacity for risk assessment.

      What are you too good for the bus? Also, cook your own food, it’s way cheaper…

        Yeah! Are you too good for a 4 hour round trip with 50 pointless stops on an empty bus? Too good for that 1 hour wait time if you miss it? You should instead use said bus to go grocery shopping so you can carry that shit home instead of conveniencing yourself and being rightfully upset with the cost and bad product. /s
