The context of the following conversation is Lee brought their own car instead of carpooling since they liked the freedom to leave at any time.:
Lee says I finally got a new car. Now I don't have to car pool anymore..
The friend responds Congrats. Won't you miss your group?.
Lee responds Yes but I can leave when I want now instead of waiting..
The friend responds I guess that was like taking the bus since you were on someone else's schedule..
Lee responds I feel really free now too..
The friend responds That sounds like fun. I hope you enjoy it!.
