Yeah I used use public transport quite a bit, in the days before I even had a licence. I lived at Hope Valley so I only ever used the buses (no trains), but I had a bus stop around the corner. I now live near Angle Vale, where there is no public transport, there is a bus that services Virginia a couple of times a day (which pretty much involves me driving a third of the way to Gawler anyway). Really I need to get myself to either Gawler/Munno Para/Elizabeth. So if I didnt have a licence I may be in a bit of trouble.
I totally understand what NFSR33 is saying about his work, I work at a winery in the Barossa Valley just outside of Lyndoch, short of getting a taxi or a ride there I'd be screwed. But if I lost my licence, things would have to change, driving unlicenced is simply out of the question.
Good Luck Chase, I'm sure things will work out in the end.
