I live in a city with one of the oldest but largest transport systems in Europe and if you’re near a rail (under or over ground) stop, public transport is usually quicker. For journeys within the inner zone, cycling is usually the next quickest and often quicker than public transit even. However, once you get to the outskirts (or late at night) and have to depend on the bus network, driving or private hire becomes quicker again.
- throwaway39491 3y agoI'm right next to rail, that's the 1.5h I was talking about. 3 changes on the way and the waiting time adds up.
- hansvm 3y agoReminds me of a city I used to live in. Their bus system was actually really good on average, but the worst-case routes had two 30-minute layovers. Even in -40F drifting snow it was faster to walk across the city than take those trips, and you'd only really take the bus if you had a lot to carry or wanted to avoid the elements.
