Do you prefer public transport or driving? Why?
B1Driving & getting aroundOpinion
B Natural answer
For me, it depends, but I usually lean toward when I have a lot to carry or when I need to visit several places in one day. It gives me more control over my time, and I don’t have to wait for a schedule. That said, is better when traffic is heavy, because I can just read or listen to something and let someone else deal with the road. If the route is simple, I’m happy with either option, but if I want , driving wins for me most of the time.
