I always thought that was more of an American mindset, of a class contempt issue with public transit. Maybe I just don't travel in snobby enough circles. The bus can be annoying, but I've never had a problem with the train, agreed that I'd much rather train it into downtown than dealing with that rush hour gong show.
I hate driving downtown, so many one way streets, closures, and just insane amounts of jaywalkers / jaybikers, no thanks. No matter how nice of a vehicle I have in my garage going forward, as long as I work downtown I'll always own a transit pass.
