Unavailability is a drag in any case because transportation always costs something.
Either you come earlier and wait, or you pay more to secure a seat (and thus work longer to earn the cost but at least you won't compete with the poor), or the town/state pays for more capacity (and you work longer to pay more taxes to order and operate the new capacity).
Or you work longer to pay taxes to build more roads so that you can drive a "private" car instead of this complicated, pooled-cost public transport -- the point is that even a passenger car is anything but private when it comes to maintaining the infrastructure. Or you could only use private, toll-roads in which case you again work longer to pay for the toll.
It's always a drag.

Works fine for sub-30 minute rides (and a seat usually frees up at one point during your journey). For longer journeys reservations are either part of the ticket, or available seperately if a guaranteed seat is important to you.
- luckylion 7y ago> Or, like, you just stand when there's only standing room available during peak hours? In my city, that won't work during rush hour because there's simply no space. The busses are filled to capacity, all seats taken and people standing toe to toe where possible. If you want to avoid intimate contact with strangers, you'll have to sit out a a few; if you don't mind it, you might still have to because there's simply no room.
