Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Can't tell if this is sarcasm but just to put my city's transit into context, it'd be a 2 hour bus ride to get to the shop via bus from my house. And that's:

12 minute walk -> ride a bus -> 6 minute walk -> transfer and take a different bus -> 14 minute walk

Or a 22 minute drive

It was sarcasm.

But you could ride a bike! Which is really fun! In the winter, when there is heavy snow, or even on rainy summer days.

I don't get that some people just don't understand that it's sometimes just really inconvenient to not use a car, at least for some people. Please let them use cars without blaming them for doing so...? ๐Ÿฅบ
