The public transit in my city is an absolute joke. My 17 minute commute to my previous place of work was optimistically 90 minutes, but it could be double that if one of several connecting buses was late or early.
This is getting to work. Leaving work my trip was anywhere from 20~45 minutes. I doubt I’d make it home in less than 2 hours on a bus.
- dragontamer 5y agoIn my experience, the "bus" system and "train" systems work incredibly well with your car in my area at least. None of us are selling our cars in the next 3 months or 6 months (unless we really plan to buy a new car). Instead, we should be looking for the best combination bus + car route to get to-and-from work each day. Especially when you consider carpool options, a group of people carpooling to the bus / train can grossly improve efficiencies.
- tjr225 5y agoDid you miss the carpooling part of the post? Imagine fitting 5 people in an suv to last mile delivery a few times a week. The burden on your vehicle and the other peoples vehicle drops off dramatically. Your fuel costs drop dramatically. The only issue(a big one) is avoiding sitting in a car with a psycopath or two multiple times a week.
