Thread 2047391

I take the public transportation system everyday to and from work, the public bus in my town is free at the point of use and stops approximately every 7 minutes on weekdays and about every 20 minutes on weekends.

God bless you anon

>>2047391 (OP)
Since i have my drivers license, 12 years now, i havent stepped on a bus or train ever since.

bike and train is OP as fuck. if they let you bring it on and you are a fast biker you can easily beat driving times cuz busses are unreliable as fuck.

then why tf u on this board
>I like planes or something
lame.

>>2049289
I can't get a driverse license do to being legally blind but I can still see well enough to ride my bike so that's my primary form of transportation and probably will be for the forseeable future but it's good that I can be independent. If I need to go distances further than 15 miles I can just ride down to the train station that's like 10 miles from where I live and hop on that

>>2047395
This is even more based when they allow bikes on the train.

>>2049312
Based.

All that complaining aside, I live 7 minutes walk to a restaurant that makes a yummy gyro so I'm mostly satisfied.

American trains need stop consolidation cause we often have stops every 2 blocks (or in parts of manhattan, every block). If we consolidated some bus stops we'd have faster buses and better ridership but people think it's somehow killing buses to do so.

I live in a car-centric mid-sized American city so we don't have any relevant public transport system. But I live in a new apartment building downtown for yuppies so when I want to go hang out with people I can walk, bike, or just drive a few blocks then walk the rest. Pretty nice.
My actual job is hybrid so most days I have 0 commute and office days I can walk to the office.
Most of my driving is to my girlfriend's house or my parents' house.
