My reasons:
- The commute from my door to my office is 20 minutes max. If I take transit, it's closer to an hour each way. That frees up an hour and half every day that I can be spending with my family.
- Transit to my home is crapy at best and the one bus only comes 3 times in the evening. Otherwise I'm stuck taking another route that takes at least twice as long.
- Transit in winter is very challenging, especially when it's snowing. Schedules are unpredictable and I hate waiting up to a half hour in cold for a late bus.
- I enjoy driving and listening to the fan on my ride in/out
- My work currently "pays" for it - 500 taxable benefit per month so it's costing me about 200.
I personally couldn't imagine going back to transit.......
