Being an American, I see a winding mountain road and think about how much fun it would be. Then again, my parents bought me a $1500 shitbox when I turned 16 in exchange for me giving my sister a ride to all our after-school activities.
And I have this weird phobia about taking public transit where they'll leave without me and I'll be stranded with no way to get home. Planes, trains, busses, heck even monorails I have to be way, way early because I'm terrified of missing them. And if I have to make a connecting stop I'm even more anxious because they'll also just leave without me.
you just need transit that's frequent enough that you stop caring! metros in cities are great example, no one checks the schedule, it is basically always available within a few minutes.
