I'm an older millennial and have never even bothered to get a driver's license.
My old jeep blew its head gasket back in November 2022 and I have been walking and riding my ebike since then. Now my cheap Chinesium bike is out of order so just walking everywhere until I get new parts.
You mean those services that offer to do the driving for people have impacted the way they live?
Wow, I had no idea business could alter how people spend their money. Someone should write a book on this or something. Truly revolutionary.
younger millennial. never got my licence, or really wanted it.
people are shocked when i tell them i don't drive. it was annoying growing up cus people kept trying to push it on me but eventually most people gave up. older people get weirdly offended if you don't drive, i truly don't understand it. honestly just find cars massively unappealing, nausea inducing, and gross for everyone and everything involved. like a loud moving pollution boxes that can kill. roads are pretty gross too, covered in oil and garbage. i was recently diagnosed autistic, i think it partially explains my distaste for them with sensory issues, at least the nausea part.
and in modern world it's not even really an inconvenience. if I need to get somewhere there is uber, if there was better public transport options where i live i would take them instead, trains and rail tend to cause me much less nausea. but i still have to use uber a lot even tho they make me car sick. pretty sure its way cheaper than actually owning a car, at least with how often i use it. get groceries delivered ect..
i would be pretty happy if the car industry collapsed ngl
Gen Z is definitely driving, they're all over the place.
Born into the cheapest air fares ever.
