They're not interested in bad public transport. Why catch a bus when it is caught in the same traffic as a car?
When a bus is faster than a car, including the last mile time - hopefully people will make the rational choice. This is why I think dedicated bus lanes are important - they are a cheap and cost effective method of increasing transport ridership and also increasing throughput.
- yostrovs 8y agoIf you add the cost of the ticket and the money the city spends on buses, they are cost effective only in a few places in America. Moreover, given the choice I estimate 90% of Americans will choose the car where they have privacy, safety, their radio and not someone's speakerphone, and smells that they like. Plus, having lived in big cities and used public transport at night, I always felt lucky to be a male in those situations.
