Fundamental problem of public transit is it doesn't address the last mile problem and works based on schedules and transfers. Even when a train zips by cars, the time you spent waiting for a train on average destroys or cuts into the total transit time; as a result in an average commute it's break-even at best.

the more people that catch public transport the more frequently theyll come and the shorter the average wait time. also the "last mile" problem doesnt really apply to people, only cargo. people can walk or cycle or whatever for a few hundred meters no problem. you forget that there was a time before cars where people had to use their legs

John Candy and Steve Martin were never very funny to me.

Unless it's pouring rain, freezing cold, burning hot, they're carrying a load...

Yes. Being alone is a human right. Everything should be designed around that.

Im in a rural area outside a major u.s. city, but the center of a single intersection "town". I have found a bus comes to a similar town in rural Kansas (once a week) more than to mine.

When I press public transit option on google maps, the first step is "take a car 4 miles to a park and ride" then sit on the bus to nowhere for 3 hours to do the same as the train does in a single line to the city 7 miles away.....so I take my not worth stealing bicycle to the train station. (I have walked there before).

Like nigga, if I had a fucking car...even if I wanted to do the slightly more responsible thing and not take it to the city, why would I go around the whole fucking county on a bus to random stops? It all such a joke.

The incessant push to make all public transportation cheaper doesn't help either, it only attracts undesirables and makes desirable customer stay away

Correct, which is why it works best in homogenous high trust societies with a high sense of civic virtue like Japan, or Switzerland

>misanthropes don't like riding the bus
OP must be one of them philosopher types.

>transit is easy when there is only one agent with no context

WTF chat is this REAL??>?
