No car means no freedom here?

To tell you the truth, since I came here, the only thing that most puzzled me was the terrible traffic in US.

The public transportation in US which I usually use five months ago was bus, but there was only once per hour or half hour. If I miss one bus, it means I have to wait at least half an hour! What does half an hour late for me? It means I missed almost half of class! Therefore, I moved to an apartment which is near the school last month. Now I walk to school everyday, it's very near and convenient. My life is like a single line which is from school to the apartment. It's really boring! Then, I realize no car means no freedom in America.

In US, almost every family has one car at least, and no one can live without car! No matter go to school, go to work, or even go to market, car is the first choice for everyone. This is the main reason why traffic is so terrible in America. Can you imagine that there is a really long car line which has no end in frond of you every time when you are on you way home and to work? Therefore, I realize having a car does not mean having the freedom in America.

Best wishes to every one who has a car and doesn't have a car, wish all you guys never get traffic jams on you way to school! (*^__^*)
