Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Walk, bike, scooter, train, tram, metro, trolley, bus. Plenty of countries can swing public transportation and plenty of people don't need to drive but still choose to.

I drive among 12 different locations for work. Can't really give up the car.

What shitty job requires that?!

It's good. I drive from school to school seeing kids with disabilities.

It's dishonest to pick the work that specifically requires driving to complain about driving.
