I agree that sometimes transit does take longer than a car, but being free of a car really does give people a lot of time they didn't expect; no repairs, no refueling. You can be pretty confident of your travel times as long as you've taken the route before. As for buses, most of the bus service here in Korea is pretty reliable. The only thing that slows a bus down is traffic. Thanks Matt.

But I take issue with not knowing how long it will take to get anywhere. This may be true of bus trips, but trains, walking, and biking are more predictable than driving, because they're hardly affected by traffic. Also, while taking transit you get a lot of time back, because you can read, write, or think, instead of having to <em>drive</em>. Great article!
