Can you take me somewhere?

Truly, for most people, the ability to drive is very important in the USA, especially for the individual person.

There are only a few areas where extensive public transportation systems exist; these are in your larger cities. And private ownership used for public transportation exists, but is not as prevalent. To contrast, in the Philippines, there are many private enterprises which provide transportation for a profit. Even so, the cost for the individual is reasonable; and for a person to use it daily is very common.

Here in the USA, if you don’t drive or have someone to transport you, you will find yourself stranded; because, walking, other than for exercise, is very unproductive and inefficient. You could find yourself spending hours to reach your destination; and after you get there, you find yourself frustrated, because you needed something that you left behind. And if the weather is not favorable, you better just stay where you are. Even if you don’t forget something, things usually are so far away that a lot of time is spent in getting to wherever you want to go. Even if you manage to get a taxi, you can even spend hours waiting for the taxi to arrive. It is also expensive to take a taxi. Many employment opportunities require that you have your own transportation; because those opportunities are usually a great distance away, and they can’t rely on someone who has no interest in your employment to transport you.

It should be very obvious to you that it is so important, in the USA, that a person has the ability to drive with the access to personal transportation. This is because you will not be stranded so that you can avail yourself to all the opportunities that will be available to you.
