The fundamental problem of any form of public transportation is the other people you're unfortunate enough to be forced to spend time with. Prove me wrong.

Fundamental problem of public transit is it doesn't address the last mile problem and works based on schedules and transfers. Even when a train zips by cars, the time you spent waiting for a train on average destroys or cuts into the total transit time; as a result in an average commute it's break-even at best.

the more people that catch public transport the more frequently theyll come and the shorter the average wait time. also the "last mile" problem doesnt really apply to people, only cargo. people can walk or cycle or whatever for a few hundred meters no problem. you forget that there was a time before cars where people had to use their legs

Im in a rural area outside a major u.s. city, but the center of a single intersection "town". I have found a bus comes to a similar town in rural Kansas (once a week) more than to mine.

When I press public transit option on google maps, the first step is "take a car 4 miles to a park and ride" then sit on the bus to nowhere for 3 hours to do the same as the train does in a single line to the city 7 miles away.....so I take my not worth stealing bicycle to the train station. (I have walked there before).

Like nigga, if I had a fucking car...even if I wanted to do the slightly more responsible thing and not take it to the city, why would I go around the whole fucking county on a bus to random stops? It all such a joke.

It’s so frustrating using it to see why people have to act like how they do. It’s so easy to just go on sit down quietly and get off where you’re going. Why do these people have to act like assholes? Playing their loud music, talking loudly on the phone, eating, doing other things disrupt people.

let's be real here, you can't carry lots of stuff on the bus. maybe like two of the standard 20L "reusable" shopping bags plus a backpack, MAX. the same shit fits in panniers on a bike

I agree, depending on what time you ride. If you only ride during heavy work comute hours, it's usually fine. But still, in general these types of situations are why people dislike public transit.

This is true for any public space, not just public transport. It can happen in a store, gas station, airport, parking lot, public restroom, post office, park, you name it. It's just part of life, eventually everyone has to deal with some other person they consider to be a nuisance or are not comfortable with. Unless they decide to leave civilization and fend for themselves in the middle of nowhere.

while I don't particularly enjoy buses I think it's still worth having them just for children/elderly/drunks/disabled ppl

anyway, it's been like 10y since I last rode in a bus but the biggest problem was not enough buses on the line and buses being stuck in traffic behind the cars, not the schedule or the people

We've become soft, this is essentially what our bodies were made to do.
I have nothing against cars (far from it), but sometimes people should know how to navigate themselves when cars aren't easily accessible.
Whether or not you're on foot, bike, bus, etc. it's really worth being ready and agile when necessary if you aren't physically crippled and disabled.

Essentially, me either. If every car had at least a 100 pound of stuff, or a SINGLE OTHER PERSON in them, let alone four, and was only going as far as a bike couldnt, id shut up a bit.

I watched a guy at a body shop, hop in his lifted truck (blue lives matter flag and all), and drive it to the royal farms next door. It was such a on brand event I thought I was being ranked. I spun around and asked where the cameras were.

In a perfect world, where a vehicle is a utility, not a fashion item, you have quick and available rentals for one such occasion.
