Yet now, to me, public transit is the way to venture out into that unknown. Finding out a cool new place along a route you use, or even trying out a new route and seeing what it gets you. That's been super enjoyable. With cars I only have time to go to things that I already know about. I can't look around well enough while paying attention to the road. If I'm on a bus I can see something cool and hop off and go check it out

Same with bikes. You're present in the space in a way you just can't be in a car. Not as quick of course, but enough to cover a meaningful amount of ground across the city while still being able to interact as if you were on foot, more or less. Long distance trains too, for the serendipity of random conversation.
