Why do you choose to do so? a) Free Parking at work b) Stigma of public transportation c) I'm rich as fuck and money ain't a thang d) Fuck Al Gore, I like to contribute to global warming out of spite
I voted "free parking at work" But the answer to your question "Why do I Drive?", is that's my only way to get to work.
I drive to work, or i don't get to work, well could walk i suppose but i'd get there about closing time.
I drive to work out of necessity. No public transit where I live, so because none of the others really applied, I voted money ain't no thang!
It's a short drive, I like driving, we don't have public transport and I'm rich as fuck and money ain't a thang (one of these reasons may not be true).
I drive because the bus takes 3X times longer to get there then if I drive. 30min drive.....1.5 hour bus ride
Because I'm not going to do an hour or more bus ride with like 3 transfers + I dont pay for gas so fuck Al Gore.
I drive more in the summer Mainly because I'm baller as fuck. (no, not really... I hate the streetcar in the heat, and I like leaving work to a freshly washed and waxed car)
I take the bus because I'm cheap and its only 10 minutes slower than driving, and the stop is just outside my place

I drive because I hate buses, and it's cold as FAWK out right now so I sure as hell ain't walking. Maybe when it gets nicer out I will, that's only if there are sidewalks!!!
It's not so much the "stigma" of the transit system, but rather the fact that our system sucks... as a whole. I live in Cowie Hill and work in Burnside. I'd spend more time commuting than at work, if I took the bus.
Why on earth would I take the bus when it is a 20 minute walk to the nearest bus stop, and it would take 2+ hours to get there with at least 2 connections, when I can drive there in 15 minutes.
money aint a thang, also I need my car to go to meetings downtown and such. I have a work car but it is an ugly HHR with tons of stickers around it so I will not be riding in that looser cruiser.
yeah I would use transit but it takes 4 times as long there and 6 times as long back and the closest bus stop to my work is 1.2km
I am an outside sales rep, I need my car for work, this city is spread the fuck out and transit outside the core is weak.
I work at the airport and have free parking so I drive. If I have to go downtown M-F between 7-7 I park at Lacewood and hop on the bus. Couldn't be arsed finding or paying for parking downtown and love the convenience of public transport.
