And did I mention: ticket prices are probably rising heavily again. I'm getting reluctant to pay. I didn't expect to say this, I have been a big fan of the Helsinki public transport my whole life and hate owning a car.

I discussed with a colleague born in latam and they said public transportation here is now what it typically is in many latam countries (unreliable+super crowded). And there, everyone capable of buying one has a car. This is where we are going if we normalize the state of public transport now.

I don't like driving a car, but now, for the first time in quite some time, I find myself thinking whether I should buy one.

If it would be just this summer I would suck it up but all summers have been like this since many years. Also, our nearest bus line has been super unreliable since it was "reorganised" early this year. It's not helping either.
