    Taxis are expensive and have the fuel issue per the post were replying to. They were pretty long winded but busses do take longer than driving yourself that much is true.

      you use mass transit (buses, trains) normally, and you use personal transit (taxis, cars) in emergency situations like the comment was referring to. I think that’s what they are trying to say.

      Also, buses, trams, and trains CAN be much faster than cars if they are built correctly. Going to a mall in the center of a >1mil population city is much easier and faster on a metro than a car.

      Don’t think of buses in a vaccum, consider other modes like rail and bike paths as well.

      You don’t walk to a freeway, get in a car and get off the car at the end of the freeway to walk right?
