    What is crazy is that with 1 passenger per car, that is not that many people. Like not even 50. You could all fit in a single bus

            And yet they always are. Not to mention dangerous (statistically, per user-mile).

            Also, please don’t argue with me on that last point. Instead, argue how safe they are with a doctor or nurse at your local emergency room. They will, I’m certain, agree with you.

      If those 50 people are all going to same places than the bus goes. At the same time.

      A coworker was taking the bus to get home. 2 hours due to two line changes where they can wait up to 30 minutes for the next bus. I started giving him a ride home when I could.

      5 minutes out of my way and cut his commute down to 20 minutes. From 2 hours. That’s 120 minutes down to 20 minutes. With just that extra hour of sleep he’s much happier.

      An extra hour and a half of each day wasted on public transportation.
