You are welcome to your preference, paaaaaatttiiiiiieeeeennnnnccccce and experience. I'm truly glad it works for you. I use the system when I have to - it's dangerous often enough and slow enough and unpredictable enough that it's only "when I have to" - usually for self inflicted issues of parking and cost and unpredictability of Uber/Lyft itself. That's the problem with "dangerous often enough" for example: you can't tell before getting on a vehicle whether that will be an exception or the rule and you plan based on the general experience. Which is not good for me.
The timetable joke is because of its uselessness for planning switches or choices from one line to another, all the way to entirely missing vehicles. If you need transfers, you try and use a real-time app and you better be extremely agile with it. Good luck to the rest of us.
- archagon 2y agoWhat do you mean by “dangerous”? I can’t even recall the last time I encountered some sort of major disturbance on a Muni train. Transfer-wise, the worst case scenario is that you’ll end up waiting 15 minutes for the next train, but it’s pretty unlikely. (And this is something easily solvable with more trains.) Perhaps most importantly, though, Muni is 10x cheaper than ridesharing as well as far more egalitarian. Paying $10-20 to get anywhere in the city is just setting a pile of money on fire.
- rangestransform 2y ago> far more egalitarian I would rather that some don't suffer than everyone suffer equally
- archagon 2y agoWell, I’d rather we invest in infrastructure that can benefit all of us rather than just ferrying the bourgeoisie around. If they see this as “suffering,” then maybe they can just move to Texas?
