>cars in general is a horrible investment

Of course, especially with constantly rising fuel prices, lack of parking space and traffic jams.

But public transport has own flaws. It goes only where routes are planned, it has own timetable and it also shared with others and often overloaded. Some places are hardly accessible even in cities with large transport network. Going into some shops is also much easier with car, because moving large goods in full bus is a pain. Especially when shop is located in far place. And if you have some remote dacha, like me, car is almost required.

I.e. I know that car is overall loss of money and another source of headache, but whatever.

>in small town

Car in big town is more problematic than in small.
