Every time I go to a conference in SF I wind up riding the BART from SFO with the Europeans. All the other Americans (including travelers in my party who might drag me along) insist on taking a Cab, Uber, Super Shuttle, or if they have exceptionally poor judgement they rent a car from the worst car rental center in the world. (If you used that rental center you’d assume car rentals are ripe for disruption and you’d start Silvercar)

America, especially the West Coast, has a very strong driving culture. If you want to get somewhere, you get in the car. That's the default. I did this on my first visit to Seattle.
