Buses are meant to take you to school. Which could even be the local college or University. They're not used for much else here in Texas. Commuter trains exist in a couple of narrow corridors, but they have very few stops, and are meant to take you downtown. If your office isn't downtown, then public transport isn't going to be of much help to you.
