And you say, "Not if renting is cheaper." But that depends on if renting is cheaper.

No shit, that's literally exactly what I said.

From what I hear, that's not the reality for Zipcar.

I wasn't talking about Zipcar, so this statement is meaningless.

But I don't think the route has to be that direct. As long as you can get there, it should be fine.

This is an inefficient solution to a problem that could more elegantly be solved with self-driving cars. Same with your later points about staying at length on a circuitous bus route instead of just going straight from your departure point to your destination in a car.

Transit isn't that inefficient for everyone.

But it is for most of the world's population.

If you live in a transit hub with an efficient transit system near to your chosen home, good for you; most of the world does not.

Even for me, they're like 3 or 4 in walking distance.

Good for you.

There are zero for me, which is the same number there were at the last place I lived.

More buses would mean less traffic...

Only true if the buses were actually carrying a significant number of people. If the buses were nearly or completely empty, they are an obstruction because they - unlike self-driving cars which can go out of the way until they are needed - must continue to drive their route in case someone is waiting to be picked up.
