Want better transport? Pay for it

[corydorus]

"If you treasure your time and treasure your comfort, you pay a premium - there are premium bus services. If you value your time and comfort even more, buy a car. And then ultimately, get a chauffeur. You have to decide for yourself what it is you want."

My decision is to have a car and chauffeur but cannot afford it. How? Maybe the underlying message is if you cannot afford it, just shut up and take it with stride.

Maybe you are putting words in his mouth?

A: I am happy to pay more for a better service but I don't think the capacity will increase overnight. However, the current situation is pretty bad. I really treasure my time and comfort. How?
B: Go buy a car.
A: OK but very expensive. How?
B: You cannot afford it? Not my problem.
A: Ok then what?
B: What do you mean?
A: How can I still have value in my time and comfort when travelling?
B: I already said go buy a car.
A: But I already said I cannot afford one.
B: And I already said not my problem.
A: What are you trying to tell me here then?
B: End of interview not further question will be entertained.
A: Ok I am taking a bus home then.
B: Chauffeur I am really to go home. You can pick me up now.

I had this dream 5 min ago. Funny.

No joke. I have a friend who works in construction line as project manager. No company car. Will be an issue once his current car expired but is too expensive for him to replace even though he need it for his job.
