I have to drive quite a bit for work and absolutely hate it, its time consuming (/waste of time), tiring, bad for the environment. The only reason I like driving is that its currently faster and cheaper than public transport.
I just wish public transport was a lot better, currently it'd take me 50 minutes to get to the closest major city close to me while its 25 minutes with car.
In terms of going home, its a 2 hour 30 drive. With public transport it'd be 50 minute bus + 2 hour train + 30 minute bus resulting in a longer commute but also the car costs about 40-60 euros in gas (which I don't have to pay cause company car) and public transport would be 80 euros train + 5 euros bus
(Prices are approximate, gas prices and public transport prices keep going up)
