📝 AITA for refusing to wait for my gf?

Both my gf and I hate taking the bus. She hates it way more than me and she tries to find ways not to take it (this involved using Uber a lot on her part). I recently got my own car and I've been relegated to the role of taxi most days.

Yesterday she had an appointment for a massage. It would have been a straight shot for her on the bus and it would've taken anywhere between 15 - 25 min for her to get there. She asked me if I would mind driving to pick her up from work, dropping her off for her appointment and then waiting for her to finish (it would have been an hour long session). If I drove to pick her up, it would take me a little over 15 min to get to her and then 10ish min to drive to the place she needed to go to.

I told her she should take the bus and I'd pick her up after her appointment. She told me she really didn't want to take the bus and now that we have a car; unless there is a big issue why I can't drive, we should use the car. I told her I didn't want to just drive her to this place and then wait in the car for over an hour for her to finish and it's not fair to me. She told me I could just go on my phone and stuff. I told her i'd be willing to drop her off and pick her up. She told me that my idea was dumb because it would take roughly 30 min for me to drive her from her work to this place and drive home and i'd have 30 min left to go pick her up again.

This is where I told her to take the bus because I wasn't driving her to the massage appointment and that I'd pick her up. When I got her she was quiet the entire time and refused to speak with me when we got home.
