My lived experience is that public transit is great. I take BART 5 days a week and have a 15 minute late experience once every few months.
This to me is something like the “I can’t live in a city because I can’t afford a 2000 square foot detached unit” issue.
You just need to modify your expectations. I’m far happier and less stressed not driving every day - but yes, it’s noisy and I have to stand and sometimes something smells bad.
There’s room for improvement, but that doesn’t mean public transit is unuseable.

- closeparen 8y agoThe "suck it up" school of user experience design is poorly adapted to a competitive marketplace. There is no supreme authority who gets to say "you just need to modify your expectations." There are only consumers and voters.
