Daily, everyday.
It's pointless outside the city, or i didn't know how to use it..
You have a point,
If playing outside the city, a car is necessary.
But other than Beirut, there are cities in which you can play on foot, like Jbeil and Tripoli.
But yes, generally in lebanon, areas aren't crowded with portals, a car could help a lot.
On the other hand, in other countries in Europe, Asia or US, there is a cluster F*** if them everywhere.
Which area were you in when you started playing? (I'm assuming that you did play a bit xD).
