One of the problems with rural bus lines is they either cover bus stops on the highway that are too far from a town, or they cover bus stops inside the town and they force the rest of the passengers to detour to said town and then back to the highway. Often times said bus stop has no one waiting so the passengers just waste time. See pic related for example. My bus line to the nearest city is like this. It detours several times into small towns and it wastes a lot of time since people rarely board from those places.
It would be much more efficient if regular cars were used with carpooling. We need to somehow force people to carpool.
I own a car and I drive to the nearest city and park there, only to board a bus to another city. This takes me around 2.5 hours. If I got rid of the car and used only buses, it would take me over 3 hours, since the buses never align on their times. That is a total of an extra 1 hour (each day) of waiting in a bus station where you can't sit comfortably.
>just move to the city lol
I will never pay rent, I will never take a mortgage. I will keep working hybrid or remote jobs from my comfy town.
