The fundamental problem of any form of public transportation is the other people you're unfortunate enough to be forced to spend time with. Prove me wrong.Pic related
Horrible movie, by the way. Didn't particularly like it
>>2066317id rather have a [insert group here] sitting a few rows down from me on a bus over them driving a 2 ton machine where ever they want
>>2066317Fundamental problem of public transit is it doesn't address the last mile problem and works based on schedules and transfers. Even when a train zips by cars, the time you spent waiting for a train on average destroys or cuts into the total transit time; as a result in an average commute it's break-even at best.
>>2066384the more people that catch public transport the more frequently theyll come and the shorter the average wait time. also the "last mile" problem doesnt really apply to people, only cargo. people can walk or cycle or whatever for a few hundred meters no problem. you forget that there was a time before cars where people had to use their legs
>>2066354John Candy and Steve Martin were never very funny to me.
>>2066396>people can walk or cycle or whatever for a few hundred meters no problemUnless it's pouring rain, freezing cold, burning hot, they're carrying a load...
>>2066408true, i forgot that rain and temperature extremes were only invented in the last hundred years
>>2066317 (OP) #Yes. Being alone is a human right. Everything should be designed around that.>>2066354 #>>2066401 #No. Thats you.>>2066384Im in a rural area outside a major u.s. city, but the center of a single intersection "town". I have found a bus comes to a similar town in rural Kansas (once a week) more than to mine. When I press public transit option on google maps, the first step is "take a car 4 miles to a park and ride" then sit on the bus to nowhere for 3 hours to do the same as the train does in a single line to the city 7 miles away.....so I take my not worth stealing bicycle to the train station. (I have walked there before).Like nigga, if I had a fucking car...even if I wanted to do the slightly more responsible thing and not take it to the city, why would I go around the whole fucking county on a bus to random stops? It all such a joke.
The incessant push to make all public transportation cheaper doesn't help either, it only attracts undesirables and makes desirable customer stay away
>>2066317Correct, which is why it works best in homogenous high trust societies with a high sense of civic virtue like Japan, or Switzerland
>misanthropes don't like riding the busOP must be one of them philosopher types.
>transit is easy when there is only one agent with no contextWTF chat is this REAL??>?
>>2066354Guess you didnt finish it. The become best friends. You dont want a best friend?
>>2066451And then people like you wonder why people switched to cars en masse as soon as they could afford them.
>>2066317If the random people you'll never see again live in your head rent free, that's your problem.Also, you missed the point of the movie.
It’s so frustrating using it to see why people have to act like how they do. It’s so easy to just go on sit down quietly and get off where you’re going. Why do these people have to act like assholes? Playing their loud music, talking loudly on the phone, eating, doing other things disrupt people.
>>2067965I take the bus and while I haven't NEVER encountered this, it's pretty rare
>>2066408>they're carrying a load...let's be real here, you can't carry lots of stuff on the bus. maybe like two of the standard 20L "reusable" shopping bags plus a backpack, MAX. the same shit fits in panniers on a bike
>>2067973I agree, depending on what time you ride. If you only ride during heavy work comute hours, it's usually fine. But still, in general these types of situations are why people dislike public transit.
