When you realize that buses don’t run all hours

i wonder why buses and public transport are so unsuitable for American cities.

If there are public transit issues you fix it by forcing people to invest massive amounts of their income into personal transport and because there are millions of other people like this even the network that is supposed to sustain personal transit is strained.

LA is know for its super short and reliable commute times via personal transit:funny-clown-hammer:

They always default to “how will you pay for it?”

“We’ll do a subscription model. You get reliable transportation anywhere at any time of day. Only $440 a month.”

“$440 a month? That’s crazy. Why would a train cost so much?”

“Oh, it would cost significantly less. That’s the average monthly cost of owning a car in the United States”

Bikes don’t run runs a little slower in snow, especially after it has been cleared.
