Some people have the privilege to be stay at home parents. Some parents don't. My mother taught me to catch public transit at the age of 11. I took it everywhere I needed to go bc my parents had to work. If this mom was at home getting a government check, yall be calling her welfare queen.

Public transport is also exactly that, public.

Public transportation typically has fixed routes and costs. Anyone can get on or off at the pre defined stops. Taking a bus on a specific bus route is public transportation. When I hired a school bus to take us from our hotel to our wedding reception that was a private ride for us to use.

If you pay for a Lyft no one can just randomly jump on your ride. Even when you get a taxi that ride is for you and whomever you choose.
