Parents not teaching their kids about public transport

Today at lunch a coworker was talking about how he went to a game with his family during the weekend, but the traffic was so bad that they had to drive all the way back to their house, park and take the bus.

His 16 year old daughter had never stepped on a bus before.

Ever since I was a child, even if they had a car, my parents made sure to teach me how to use the bus, they constantly told me that if the car had less than 3 people in it, might as well take the bus to be more environmentally and pocket friendly. And here I am realizing there are people that in their late teenage years and up to their adulthood have never used public transportation before. Flabbergasted.
