> Have you ever been on 101? This seems like a really out of touch comment in relation to 101 itself.
> Your website says you don’t live in the US and you did your education in NYC - so I feel like you might be really unaware of how this road operates and how many of these others operate…
I grew up in southern California and did my undergrad in the Bay Area. I've probably put around 100k miles of driving in California with myself behind the wheel and that includes the fact that I have been mostly been living outside California for more than a decade. Last time I drove through the Bay Area was a couple months back and I did in fact drive on the 101.
- bradlys 5y agoThen why would you advocate for busses in the land of suburbia knowing that is one of the least efficient forms of transport for suburbia? Busses are great within cities and places that have optimized their topology and layouts for them and for super commutes. They absolutely suck for getting you from random parts of SF to say emerald hills.
- CogitoCogito 5y agoBuses in suburban Sweden aren't really that bad. In fact I've been experimenting with using buses in San Diego more and more and the main drawbacks are (1) low volume of buses and (2) buses sitting in traffic in rush hour. The first can be solved by putting more buses on the road and the second can be solved by giving buses priority in traffic. Even with these shortcomings, buses in San Diego seem much worse in many people's imagination than they truly are. I'm not saying that my beliefs here are right, but I would recommend you consider the possibility that yours are wrong.
- bradlys 5y agoAre you going within San Diego itself or outside San Diego? Cause Bay Area is pretty large and people aren't usually commuting 5 miles from their houses or something.
