    Oof, in my city there’s one route that’s 40 minutes, and the rest are an hour+

    If I lived in a different spot or had kids or anything, it’d be impossible for me to take the bus. I don’t blame people who don’t use it. It’s mostly used by homeless people.

    It’s getting better though, slowly but surely :)

      It doesn’t even exist near me and the roads aren’t even walkable. I’m in a relatively big city but on the edge of the suburbs.

        Yeah, that’s what really sucks. I grew up in a similar place, and for me it’s a thousand times better to live in a place with transit (and, y’know, sidewalks…), regardless of how little funding it gets. Sorry :(

          Yeah I’ve lived in Germany and the Netherlands and also big US cities with mediocre transit. Having zero non-car options sucks, especially as regulation and other economic factors are making the cost of cars outpace our already crazy inflation.
