Public transit? 3.5 hours, and I'm tied to someone else's schedule. Not to mention I'd be spending about 100 bucks just to go and see her for a weekend. I'd pay more in a year for public transit than I pay for my car, and I'd have none of the whimsical freedom I have.

I really, really wished my city would have much better public transportation - to the levels of what other well-developed countries have. I rode the bus everywhere until I bought the car last year. Took the bus once since that time, never again unless something catastrophic happens.. or they improve public transit.

I get it.

It's different here. Trains and buses are rather efficient. Faster and cheaper than driving, especially in and out of Oslo city. It makes no sense to drive. I still do it.
