Not if I've set my life up in a way convenient to mbutt transit. Which probably means not having a car. And means having a workplace with extremely limited parking (which vanishes in the face of a transit strike, as everyone has to drive)
I could try to arrange my life so I could have a choice. It might not be reasonably possible and it would certainly be unreasonably expensive. I'd have to purchase a far more expensive home. I'd have to arrange a way of getting from the transit stop to work. My schedule would become tied both to mbutt transit and to whoever was providing the ride there. I'd have to pay the fixed costs on a car I rarely drove. And if I were to change jobs or my workplace were to move, all my efforts would be for naught. It's a bad bargain any way you slice it. The idea that mbutt transit is some sort of simple panacea and if people don't take it they don't have any right to complain is ridiculous. -- There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one.
