>>1068521If you live in a place where cars are the dominant species (this includes much of the area where typical 4chan posters live), bus service tends to be very poor, and is typically only used by people who are desperately poor or somehow disabled/addicted, so buses have a very poor reputation. Most people in real life, and probably all of the people who regularly visit /n/ or talk about /n/ topics, agree that public transportation is great in theory, but likely don't want to ride their local buses if they can avoid it.
Personally, I rode my local bus service last year after an injury kept me off my bike for a few weeks - and it was awful: more expensive and slower than riding a bike, few destinations served, and it only takes one inconsiderate person who doesn't know how to bathe, or how to keep their music volume down, or read a book without mouthing the words to make the bus-riding experience less pleasant for everyone onboard.
