Part of why I moved to the city was wanting to escape the car based nightmare of the suburbs. Couldn't do much of anything without a car or an extremely risky walk.

I could have walked a mile to the train station with no sidewalks , and then paid $20 for a ticket into the city on a train that stops at like 10pm, but all of that sucks. I stayed inside and played a lot of video games.

$20 a ticket??

Yikes.

What city?

I looked it up, it's $15 currently. Suburban NJ to Manhattan.

$15 is still kind of a lot when you're a kid

Damn, I feel blessed then. Australia's a pretty high cost of living, but our trains (+ the other modes of public transport) are like half that price in Melbourne Australia, and you can travel as much as you like. All day. Almost anywhere in the state where trains, busses and trams go.

(Or at leat most routes)

We are still very car centric though, by international standards.
