What do you want GP to do? Drive some buses to improve service?
Star topologies coupled with infrequent service is often what makes public transit suck. It's why I can frequently leave my house later in my car than I'd have to arrive at my destination if coming by public transit. [0]
There's no practical action I can take to "get the problem fixed", because it requires completely re-thinking how my local transit system works [likely to include the transit system spending many 100s of millions more per year on increased service] and, well, I've got a lot of other shit I can actually make progress on in my life rather than shaking a cane at the sky.

- sokoloff 3y agoThe terrible transit service story above is in Massachusetts, which has been pretty close to single-party ruled for four decades or more. I'm going to go vote tomorrow, but many races are uncontested and certainly no one's running on a platform of "we want good public services" against someone else running on "we want terrible public services".
