Tomorrow I drive for an hour to my sister's place to pickup our niece and take her to Mum's place where she'll be for two days before getting a train then the airport bus to fly home (about 1700 km away). If she used public transport from my sister's place to Mum's place it would involve a suburban bus trip, then a suburban train followed by a country train then a 1 km walk, it all it would take a minimum of three hours. I can do it direct in 75 minutes.
