What can we conclude from that?
Choose one:
Public transportation will never work because you have to wait 90
minutes for a bus
or
If more people took the bus they would run them more frequently so the
wait is minimal. Very convenient and cost effective.
Right. And to get it going it may need to run at a loss... though that \"loss\"
really is still a gain for society and the environment.

Anything running at a loss is stupid.
What would work really well is people being nice. Whenever I see a
hitchhiker, I always give them a lift, every single time. And I always
ask how long they were waiting. It seems to vary up to TWO HOURS. How
many selfish fucking cunts have passed and not stopped to give someone a
lift? Imagine people were all like me. Half the population could hitch
and the other half drive. Half the petrol consumed, half the congestion,
half the cost. The hitchhikers could pay an agreed small fare.

2 hours by car, 6 hours by public transport. Dafuq?
Even more ridiculous, 6 hours by public transport, 7 hours by bicycle!
Public transport is hardly faster than a bicycle!
1 day on foot! Trains go a whole 4 times faster than me walking!
Just close them down.

A taxi is also Public Transport.

And if you drive, then you have to deal with parking. If you work
downtown, that can be difficult and expensive.
For me in Seattle, it takes me about twice the drive time to get
somewhere by bus or bicycle. Less, if traffic is bad, because traffic
rarely affects bicycles.

What about rental cycles and eScooters?
A mate and some friends spent a long weekend at a beer festival in
Munich and said they were fantastic. Pick some up from where you are,
activate them via the app, go where you want and log out and leave them.
If you come out of a place (typically a tourist attraction) and the
scooters you had were gone, there would generally be some a short
distance away.
He said the difference between there and say where they have trialled
here in the UK is respect and social responsibility.
They weren\'t left all over the footpath but out of the way, up against a
wall or fence.
They were never found damaged, especially vandalised and any that were
left a bit out of the way or too flat to use were collected up and / or
the battery replaced for a fully charged one.
I have reported many of the \'Boris / Santander\' hire bikes abandoned
here (well outside of their typical patch) and they are always recovered
pretty promptly (before the local scum destroy them).
When did parents stop teaching the respect for other peoples property to
their children, as can generally seen by all the damage and graffiti on
all sorts of public transport and property?

A better model would be many people requesting a ride, and vans
picking several people up at nearby places and dropping them at nearby
places.

we have that here in some areas with too few people for regular bus schedule
you call the driver and the route is planned accordingly, so you maybe to wait
little and take a detour to pick other up

There\'s a similar thing in Truckee. I think it\'s free.

Women got a place to live in a project and benefits if they had kids
and no husband.
I knew welfare case workers who knocked loud on a door and waited for
the boyfriend to put on his pants and leave out the back.
Someone said that the Black family survived transportation, survived
slavery, survived the Civil War, survived reconstruction, survived Jim
Crow, but didn\'t survive the War On Poverty.
