Uproot your entire life, including job, family, social circle etc so you can be somewhere with better public transport.

Or, piece of shit vehicle manufacturers keep their fucking nose out of how you modify/maintain/service a product that you BOUGHT with your own money.

Trains and buses aren't always the answer.
