Using public transport to get to work for me, would mean:

  - Walk to the next village
  - Take a bus to the next city (bus comes by every 2 hours)
  - Walk to the train station
  - Take the train to the next city
  - Take another train to the next city
  - Walk to the outskirts of the city to where I work

And I live in Germany, which is presumably the public transport heaven.

It would also take me several hours every day.

My car costs me maybe a maximum of 90€ every month and takes me to work in about 15 minutes.

I know what you will say. "Just live in the city and use a bike to get to work, faster and costs nothing! (apart from the bike)". But that would not only reduce my quality of living (let's face it, the countryside is nicer) but also let my rent costs skyrocket (average price per m² more than doubles).
