Why I Won't Drive A Car

The zine I created, Why I Won't Drive A Car, is the inaugural issue of my series "Capitalism Shenanigans." It stems from my personal decision not to get a driver's license, a choice that frequently prompts questions from others. This zine delves into one of the primary reasons behind my decision: the car industry's significant role in driving capitalism. 

This industry's influence results in lower-quality public transportation, a scarcity of bike lanes, and narrow sidewalks in most North American cities and towns. The zine offers an introduction and insight into how our current transportation system came to be.
