maintain it (likely by paying someone else to do it, since it’s a complicated skill set )
figure out fuel and oil sources
probably other stuff I’m forgetting
persoally, I think being able to walk or bike somewhere is more free. Public transit that’s just always there, running every couple minutes, is also good.
As to “take a bus”, part of the problem, and part of why communities like “fuck cars” gain traction, is that most places are car-first, and thus taking a bus isn’t a viable option. These modes of transit aren’t equal. Where my parents live in the suburbs it would be a long dangerous walk to a bus stop, and then the buses don’t run often, or go many places.
People aren’t mad at cars out of spite. They’re mad because car-first culture is bad ecologically, socially, and economically.
It’s freedom to go where you want so long as you
