    Public transport too shitty.

    Waking out the door 90 minutes before bus arrives, then having to jog in work clothes after arrival to get to shift on time, and waiting an hour after work because the closest scheduled bus leaves 10 minutes before shift end. All of this being a good day with no delays.

    Biggest fucking gift to the oil companies. Impossible option for many who aren’t a single person with no kids.

      It’s not a gift TO the oil companies, but FROM them.

      This. I spoke to our mayor about it at a city council meeting, and he told me that the bus service was set up to maximize coverage for the people with no other choice, specifically at the cost of desirable stops and frequency.
