I have a car but I mostly ride the bus, for three reasons:

I want my car to last as long as possible because it's a pre-surveillance model and it still works great. The less I drive it, the longer it will last.
When I ride in someone else's vehicle - be it a bus or a cab - running costs, depreciation, taxes, maintenance, parking and accidents are someone else's problem. My life is simpler in someone else's vehicle.
I can do other things while I'm being chauffeured around - including talking to other passengers.
