What everyone else said really. I'm not defending driving for short trips in London (which isn't what our Civic gets used for) and generally speaking I think people who do that are nuts.
However, public transport involves sitting inside with a load of strangers you don't know if you can trust and who might not be wearing masks - basically everything epidemiologists tell you not to do.
We tried taking a bus once ages ago, half the people on it weren't wearing masks and/or weren't distancing properly. If you're comfortable with that level of risk fair enough, it seems like a bad idea to me, but more importantly my Dad is extremely clinically vulnerable and my Mum is clinically vulnerable. I want to be able to see my family when I can without putting them at risk, which is why we bought our car in the first place.
lots of busses go to the park, 2 national rail stations and DLR walking distance, why drive?
