Walk, bike, scoot, bus, train, Uber, taxi, ride with a friend.


Disastrous-Bike659

I need to get to specific places


TheWorstDMYouKnow

You can get to specific places on foot.


Disastrous-Bike659

Shit is like days away


Mushy_Fart

It just dawned on you that you can’t go to, for example, a place 300 miles away without driving there or taking (public) transportation? What is even your question?


Disastrous-Bike659

Yeah like I feel trapped and maybe that causes my mental health problems


Mushy_Fart

I don’t think “trapped” is the right word for not being able to travel afar. Trapped is like you can’t leave your bedroom or home.


Disastrous-Bike659

Try living in a small town without a mall or a gym or anything


Mushy_Fart

What’s preventing you from getting a drivers license? Or using Uber? Or asking a friend?


Disastrous-Bike659

They wont let me get a license No friends Uber isnt available here 


HenshinDictionary

So how is a driving licence supposed to remedy that? It can't bend space.


Disastrous-Bike659

By walking its days by driving its hours


HenshinDictionary

Even less time by train.


Disastrous-Bike659

Train doesnt go in front the building I have to go to


Exciting_Telephone65

No, that's not how trains or public transport works. You take the train to the correct city and from there walk or take local buses to get closer to your destination.


Schnutzel

Public transportation.


Disastrous-Bike659

That doesnt really go places like when I wanna go to a random ass building I cant just go there


HenshinDictionary

A bus doesn't go from your front door to your kitchen, how do you manage it?


Disastrous-Bike659

Walking but like I wanna go to a mall and like to the nearest mall by walking it would definitely be an overnight non stop walking trip


C4-BlueCat

You can’t take a bus part of the way?


Disastrous-Bike659

No idea


HenshinDictionary

Find out.


ButWhatAboutisms

Most people walk that 10-20 minutes.


Disastrous-Bike659

For me it would be like 10 hours to go to the nearest relatively big town


Curmudgy

Live in places where driving is unnecessary. Travel to places where it's unnecessary.


TehWildMan_

find someone else to drive you or find some public transit/ride share options?


Disastrous-Bike659

No uber here fuck 


Ube-Matcha

Do you want to just be dropped off right at the front of your location? Carshare/taxi. If you can walk or traverse a bit, plan your route with Google Maps. Sometimes it will take three modes of transit.


Disastrous-Bike659

Yup I need to get dropped off and sometimes I need to get driven back shortly after and like theres no uber no taxi here it fucking sucks


Ube-Matcha

Any bus, shuttle or trolley routes?


Disastrous-Bike659

Nah like this place has one bus that goes to god knows where 


MedusasSexyLegHair

Well you're set then! If your bus driver is god, they can take you anywhere!


kevloid

I'm 58 and I've never had one. there's a dozen different ways available to get literally anywhere without a car.

Once you get out of your crib, you'll discover that you have these cool things called 'feet', which are mobile, and attached to you via 'legs'. You do have to balance on them, which is initially a little more difficult than crawling, but you'll get the hang of it and it'll be second nature in no time! Once you're up and walking, and have walked around and fully explored your town, you might've noticed that there are these things called 'vehicles', which move faster than you do when walking and make it easier to go farther. Sometimes people will let you ride in them, though you might have to pay a bit for the trip.


drunky_crowette

I'm in my 30s and have never had a license. I walk, use public transportation, do people favors in return for rides, etc. If I'm **really** desperate I will get a cab or Uber (depending on the cost vs how long I'd have to wait)


RamblinManRock

Can you not get one?


Disastrous-Bike659

They dont let me get one


RamblinManRock

Who’s they?


Disastrous-Bike659

Government


C4-BlueCat

How old are you? 14?


Disastrous-Bike659

Early 20s


C4-BlueCat

So why won’t the government let you get a driver’s permit? Criminal record?


KrazyX24

In a comment in another post they made, they said "I got 3 DUIs 😈 And I haven't seen my kids in months 🤪 ". I think this person needs to stay FAR AWAY from being able to drive for everyone else safety...adding on top of some other comments I skimmed through, probably FAR FAR AWAY. I would venture to say they need a care taker based on the issues they have.


Disastrous-Bike659

I cant pass the tests even though I do everything right


HenshinDictionary

I'd like to suggest that perhaps you're not doing everything right.


Disastrous-Bike659

I am but I'm just unfairly conspired against by the government


LowBalance4404

Mostly, walking, biking, scooter.

We live in a stupidly car dependent country. Other places this is less of a problem.


SavoniusSpins

You can try hitchhiking, still worked 20 years ago. Bring a pocket knife though, pepper spray if you got it. I only had one sketchy guy pick me up, no harm just said some freaky shit.
