Or as another example, Rerun has the option of taking a bus if he wants to. There's a reason to; that is, if his car breaks down or whatever the case, he can use the bus.

Me, I have no reason to head out in that direction and use interchanges, simply because I have no reason to go out there for anything. So I understand why Rerun subsidizes the bus system, but why should I subsidize the interchanges I'll never use? There's no reason for me to go out there, while there is more reason for Rerun to come in.
