fairly regular If infrequent basis (15-20 minutes apart)

lol that’s the frequency that the busses and trains near me operate during peak commute times. I finally broke down and bought a car. I’m American if you couldn’t tell…

Oof, in my city there's one route that's 40 minutes, and the rest are an hour+

If I lived in a different spot or had kids or anything, it'd be impossible for me to take the bus. I don't blame people who don't use it. It's mostly used by homeless people.

It's getting better though, slowly but surely :)

It doesn't even exist near me and the roads aren't even walkable. I'm in a relatively big city but on the edge of the suburbs.

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, that's what really sucks. I grew up in a similar place, and for me it's a thousand times better to live in a place with transit (and, y'know, sidewalks...), regardless of how little funding it gets. Sorry :(

Yeah I've lived in Germany and the Netherlands and also big US cities with mediocre transit. Having zero non-car options sucks, especially as regulation and other economic factors are making the cost of cars outpace our already crazy inflation.
