I think the point Hyde is making is she (or he, really dunno) is she can afford the gasoline, the parking, & of course the timing to look for parking (or hire sb to valet parking or get a personal driver).... just to show off jar...

no offense, but even the richest person in the world, Warren Buffett (that crazy richest guy), will still take buses / public transit  & live in the houses he bought like 50 years ago when he's a poor bum... it's a personal choice to take public transit for many reason. Back in the day when the gas was extremely cheap & cars were affordable, still many chose to take transit for social reason (to flirt or to be flirted??? haha..), or what-so-ever.

I don't see a problem taking public transit, & really don't think having 搭乘 public transit 的 etiquette is anything wrong.  

Aiya, at least Hyde is right that most people in Japan is really polite & considereated when they're taking subway & buses. I think we should learn from those Japanese in this area.

wonder should we name-call those Japanese "poor bums"?

Van skytrain is not the best, but definitely not the worst among world-class cities. End of story.

look like driving or not matters only with $$$... some of loyaukees just forget other factors what may make ppl drive / not drive, take skytrain / no take....

if u live near a skytrain station, & u work in downtown daily (near skytrain station as well)... I doubt why ppl still want to drive to downtown everyday even they got their own cars sitting in the garage.... for the traffic jam (time u spend on traffic jam in rush hour in downtown is no kidding business)???? or for the costly & not-so-safe parking spot?  or some other reasons???

just "oh b/c they can't afford driving so they have no choice but to take skytrain"

... too simple... too naive...

???
窮人 = no manner / no matter should be expected from them
