Buses are great! Road commuting is not much of a thing where I live, so what do I know, but the simplest way to mitigate the problem that poor people can't use a toll road is to put buses on it.
- next_xibalba 10mo agoI’ve never been on a public bus and thought, “this is great!”. Crowded, dirty, and almost always there is someone on drugs or experiencing psychosis. I’ll stick to my car.

- walthamstow 10mo agoI've never sat in car traffic and thought it was awesome either. It's a terrible economic drag and it's boring as fuck. There are solutions available.
- bluGill 10mo agoI've never experienced that on a bus. but when transit is useless only those with no option use it and those tend to be the problems you state. Make transit useful and the problems go away
- array_key_first 10mo agoWell it's either see someone experiencing psychosis, or be at a few orders of magnitude higher risk of dying or being seriously injured. I often see these comparisons to cars and theyre just so dishonest, because nobody seems to mention the number one downside of driving a lot. Maybe we're desensitized to it. Driving is a fantastic way to die, one of the best.
- krior 10mo agoI have used a lot of public transport in different cities and almost never experienced your problem. Crowded yes, but never unreasonably dirty or with lots of drug-addicts.
- rkomorn 10mo ago> almost always there is someone on drugs or experiencing psychosis I'd say I've experienced far fewer "what is going on with this person and are they going to end up getting someone injured?" moments on public transportation than in cars.
