I'm not sure if I could ever live in a city without public transportation anymore.  I never realized how much I hated driving... actually, I always knew how much I hated driving but my experience in Korea only solidified this knowledge. 

Yeah, sure. you actually spend more time in mass transit, but it's different.  You don't have to be focused.  You can sleep, you can read a book, or you can write in a journal.  Of course, I miss driving once in a while, but if I had a choice between Korean public transportation and LA traffic, it's public transportation hands down.

Of course, it's always nice to have both. 

p.s. Heck, you can't even walk around at night (unless you're in West LA).  What kind of bullshit is that?
