Paris Hilton Slams Public Transport Snobbery  7/24/06

Socialite Paris Hilton has slammed reports she refuses to use public transport as "the weirdest thing I've ever heard about myself."

The hotel heiress was asked at a recent press conference if it was true she bought a new car in every city she visited to avoid using taxis.

But the 25-year-old is adamant she'd never be such a diva, and has no qualms about traveling with the public.

She says, "People make up such stupid things about me, like the new car everywhere I go.

"Why would I do that? I'll go on the subway and the bus. I don't care about public transport."
