Making use of public transportation is part of my daily routine because it's not possible for me to drive to everywhere I have to go to. I can either take the bus or book a cab.

Do you like using public transport?

I love public transport when it's not too busy.

I do make use of public transport, and quite a lot too. Due to my health condition and struggling to walk too far without pain, I get access to a pass for free bus trips, which is great for when I need to get out and about.

As much as I wouldn't say I hate public transport, I hate using it when it is too busy.

At the moment I don't have a private car, so i tend to rely on public transportation to move from point A to B.

I hate public transport, in fact, I can't even go out as I am agoraphobic.

Not now. Approximately 20 years ago I left using public transport when I bought my own car. I hated travelling in a local bus when there were no AC buses, and it was difficult to travel in them, as most of the time they were crowded, and we used to sweat while standing in the bus. After the metro train was introduced, it became easy to travel, but still I hate travelling in local transport, and I avoid it if it is not a compulsion.

I use a taxi but I hate.Im stuck only going to one place even though I want to go to multiple places. I can't because it's too expensive and I am on a fixed income

Definitely know how you feel. We've only got taxis here too.

We only have to pay a quarter and the government pays the rest but the taxis are so useless and we sometimes have to wait half an hour for one.

I don't use taxis because they're expensive here too; instead, I use bikes on rent, which are totally affordable, and it's better you don't get stuck in the traffic jams. I prefer to travel by flight rather than train for the longer distances.

Yeah I do sometimes, especially when the price of fuel has gone up. Entering public transport can be quite stressful but it is economical compared to driving your own car especially when there is fuel hike.
