> there's still a good place for a city bus. Not if bus routes don't go where you need them to, they are late, congestion makes bus rides impractical, etc. Mostly this is perhaps outside of the center of a city. Even in suburban areas where there is an influx of residents, buses are the last option because you could bike where you need to faster than taking the bus during rush hour. What if a short distance meant having to transfer? If the wait is 10-20 minutes, and if the bus comes too early, then that just compounds time wasted using the bus. If bus rides take a long time, nearly zero of them have wifi to enable work to be done. And if they don't drop you off or pick you up near your source / destination, you spend twice as much time walking. It's just impractical until localities start taking this seriously. Cities and surrounding suburbs really need to increase bus lines (accessibility), and buses per line (frequency). In many places I've lived, buses were what the poor and disadvantaged rode.
