Obviously if you can't drive just parents or whatever.
So yeah, do you prefer to be in your car (driving yourself, parents, family whatevz) or to use public transport?

I love Trains <3 So yeah I like to get a car if it's just me and I'm not seeing mates but if I'm going out with mates, because of my parents jobs they're never home, I'll go by train <3

i don't like using public transport, but it's my only source of transport so gotta put up with it. i'd prefer to be driven everywhere though as it's just generally easier.
I actually love public transport, I find cars quite claustrophobic. Hope that doesn't make me a freak :(

Both but when going school I prefer getting dropped off by car cos the bus is just mayhem in the morning with four different schools tryna get on.

I love public transport when I'm not in Devon, it's not great. Since I've been able to drive (3 weeks today!!!) my life has been a lot easier, leaving when I want to and going exactly where I want go.

My own car. I hated busses and was so glad when I passed my driving test that I wouldn't have to use busses much anymore. :)

Own transport. The buses here are terrible. When I passed my driving test, I immediately started driving to college and parking it at a leisure centre, which cost £1.50 (then £2.00 in last few months). Besides, this is Essex :P Chavs took the bus and were incredibly annoying, though they hated me because they asked me for a rizzla (or some unknown item) and I gave them a long, hard stare... :P

I very rarely have to use either, everywhere I need to go is in walking distance. I prefer public if I'm going to Edinburgh or something though

Depends what public transport and where I'm going really.
I like going by car but then I also like trains/buses as well. But sometimes you might have to get to the train station as it may not be near so in that case, I'd prefer car :P

I prefer to be in my car (although I can't wait to get my own one). But I catch the bus if I need to, it doesn't really bother me.

A car is better than public transport to me but my bike is very cool to get around on :)

I absolutely despise public transport with a passion, especially buses - they're so expensive, the drivers are often very rude and you always get weird junkies talking to you (well, especially the buses around me you do).
Whenever I want to go somewhere I ask my mum/dad to accompany me so I can drive my car there. This is just until I've passed my test and have a full licence, after that, no more buses for me ever.
if i cant get someone to drive me somewhere ill take a taxi :)
own car all the way, i hate public transport. it's filled with chavs, old people and it drops you off somewhere that you don't want to go. i'll drive anywhere, i love driving in town too :P

To me it's a stupid question :P I sit on a train for about two hours every time I go to uni basically mourning my car lol
I'd rather have someone else take me by car, but if they can't using public transport doesn't bother me so I'll just get the bus.

Not huge fan of public transport and when having to use buses nearly everyday of the weekend it's a bit of a nightmare, I hate them. Although I don't mind trains. So I do prefer being in a car with my parents or someone.

I hate buses, it's my only way of transport unless my mum isn't working. I had to go on the bus today and it was roasting. :(

I use my car more than public transport, since I usually travel quite a bit at a time and I'm prone to motion sickness (or whatever you can call it when the smell of the vehicle makes you sick).

When I can I use public transport to help the planet :), but I don't go places too far so I normally just walk because my locations are very local.
