electric cars are good for saving energy and the environment etc, but are too expensive for the average person to buy (let alone repair when things break down)

introverts/ antisocial people/ people who just dont want to or can't get sick choose cars over public transport as they are in the comfort of their own vehicle, with no strangers around them and can go exactly where they need to go and when. without needing to work around the timetables etc.

weather interferences effect who uses public transport i.e. if its really hot or raining, more people drive to the stations instead of walk; but then there art enough car parks at the stations so they end up driving all the way. this equates to more energy, more fuel and more traffic every day this occurs

public transport is often gross and unclean and filled with graffiti , meaning a lot of people who count themselves as 'upperclass' deem it as a 'lower-class' system. to ensure more people use public transport, and to get less cars on the road, more cleaners and security can be hired to monitor the property damage and a rebranding needs to happen. The rebrand needs to not focus on the fact that it'll save congestion (the 'upperclass' people will just see that as a bonus to themselves) but to rebrand to save energy and to say that they are much cleaner, save time, are convenient and promote self autonomy
