Heh... I couldn't blame some people for wanting to get out of public transit, really. I rode the bus for awhile in Bing area, NY, and it sucked. 2 hours to go 30 mins up the road? Really? With a lay-over and switching buses in the middle of the trip?

Lest we forget the Epic Beard Man episode... stuff like that should make people rethink public transport "solutions". In every case I've seen/been involved with, PT isn't a solution to anything. It's a poorly constructed potential cage match with a hierarchy not unlike underground fighting leagues.

There have been a few good times on the bus, but far more bad ones.

Until public transport turns into something that can be considered useful, and customer-oriented, it's just another pit for those of us who can't afford cars, insurance, and the like.
