I'm not a big fan of public transit. I'd never use it during this pandemic anyway -- too dangerous. Also, I like to plan my errands to go to multiple places in one trip and that means I most likely will need to carry around more stuff than I could carry by myself on public transport.
Do you live in Germany, if you don't mind my asking?
