My favorite keyless car:

I wish one of them went from my home to my place of employment or my places of entertainment, much less at a time that’s reasonable

The bus trip home from the nearest transit route can take up to half an hour for me due to how often it comes and its path. The drive from the transit stop is 3 minutes.

Not that it matters, I still wouldn't be able to get to the nearest grocery store on the bus, inexplicably none of them go there. These systems need work.

Too many weirdos peeing in your favorite car, harassing other passengers, stinking, and listening to their music full blast on their portable speakers for it to be my favorite car.
