I enjoy using our public transport everyday. My parents prefer to drive a car.
I wish the USA would invest more in all kinds of transportation infra. From better bicycle facilities, to pedestrian, train, bus, high speed rail etc. If only we could tax our gas even a decent amount to help maintaining even the most basic of basic needs.

I have a feeling 60k is very different than American dollars, though?
