I think you’re misunderstanding the idea here: I have a bus pass, but will often walk rather than wait for a bus if the distance is rather short. However, if I’m about to walk somewhere, and see a bus pull up that’s headed where I’m going, I’ll often just hop on-hop off to get where I’m going faster.
Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean. If I pass a busstop and I see that the bus will be there in a few seconds, I’ll take the bus. I roughly know the busschedules around where I work (there’s no bus where I live), so I usually know if a bus is coming by looking at the clock.
That sounds so sane and human, but I think you’re missing a part: in this thread we are shitting on an American for accepting a free mile-long ride because that’s too short.

Aha! Thanks for passing me the memo! I’ll make sure to shit more aggressively in future comments.
