For private use I do not need a car. As a result of all those different timetables and lines, travelling by public transport is too complicated. What really matters is reaching my destination and getting back, the mode of travel does not matter much. I am not really price- or time-sensitive, environmental aspects are most important to me. I had rather look out of the compartment window to the passing Dutch landscape than to the bumper of the car before me. Public transport is for people who can not afford a car. All things considered, to me the car is superior to public transport. I know the public transport system pretty well because I make use of it frequently. The last time I traveled by public transport was a complete disaster. Things like comfort, privacy and safety are more important to me than travel costs and travel time. I had rather not drive in big cities… lots of traffic, lots of traffic lights, problems with parking. For my work I need a representative mode of transport. For me, travelling by public transport is more expensive than travelling by car. I know very well where in my neighborhood I can get on public transport to the rail station and I have a fairly good notion of the timetable.
