My driver even knows where I want to go without being asked.

I love not having to drive. And taking a convenient light rail or bus to meet friends at the bar is great.
My only complaint is my current city has a really bad issue with people camping out on the train cars, trying to do Google authenticator scams. Or I've had a few high as heck jerking off in the car.
Google authenticator scams on train cars?
Copy/pasting my response from elsewhere here, sorry.
Sorry, I should have said recovery scam, I guess. They come up and ask if you can help them get access to their google account because they got locked out and [insert excuse why they cant get the code]. They ask you to put in your email so a recovery code for their account goes to you and would you please give them the code so they can get into their account. But its actually your account.
I'm actually not 100% sure how this works, but it's like the Steam access code scam.
Since most people use the same email for everything, they can gain access to services through password resets after they lock you out of your own account.
I'm interested to hear about these scams

How does this work

FTFY. Public transport is not like that in other places.
Doesn’t sound like they were saying they hate the US at all, just the US’ public transport infrastructure or lack thereof and the fighting that occurs on it
No, they said they don’t like public transport…
Let me edit that to say public transport infrastructure then
Or maybe strike the part where you said „hate“ because you made that up, and instead add the opium epidemic, homelessness crisis, and rampant gun violence, which all contribute to the issue that public transport is much less pleasant than in other places.
I'm not sure I've heard of gun violence being a big thing on public transport.
If you don't like the US then say it yourself, no need to put the words in other people's mouths
