During COVID lockdowns, when lots of people had to work from home, people who couldn't work from home were all talking about how much faster it was to get to work and there was hardly any traffic on the roads.

Even if public transport doesn't benefit someone directly, getting a bunch of other people off the road still will.

Yeah, definitely. But the idea that 'only if it benefits me' really irked me, like 'why can't everyone just take public transportation' like it's just easy-peasy for everyone, guaranteed.

It's was heaven, it was like driving 20 years ago. I was delivering covid samples.
