Public transit that is not subway on rails suck big time.
I have wasted thousands of hours waiting for the bus that either came early, or is late, under 100 degrees of sun and under snowstorms. Add to that the <10mph average speed that a typical bus that stops every 2 minutes achieves, and a 2mile commute can last easily 45 minutes.
I have walked thousands of miles because the bus stops do not align with my destinations.
Since I got a car and live in the suburbs, I pay much lower housing costs, I start exactly 20’ before my punch in time, I park under my office building and I am never late (maybe 1/300 due to an accident). Oh and I always arrive dry.
Commuting in general is bad. Commuting by bus is one of the worst things that us peasants have to deal with on a daily basis.
