It’s almost like we need to prioritize a better form of interconnected transportation that’s more efficient at moving larger amounts of people with a small foot print.
To clarify, it does not have to be a bus, but it can be a tram, train, subway, elevated rail, cable car, bike, scooter.
It’s almost like a lack of investment and propoganda from car companies have convinced people public transportation can’t be convenient, clean, and reliable.
As someone who rides public transportation every day that I’m not allowed to work from home, it’s not convenient or clean and the only reliable thing about the MTA is that there will be “unavoidable delays”
Put more money into the public transit system instead of a private company that shafts both paying customers and their employees and maybe those problems could be taken care of. Maybe even invest in some sort of program to help people who are homeless, and/or addicted to drugs and alcohol to get them off the street.
As valid you point is, it also holds true for taking a Uber Pool or Robo taxi where a drunk or crackhead decided to jump in and join you, or you them.
The only difference being if it happens on a Uber Pool ride you don’t have the option of “jumping on the next one” without forking over a sum of money or canceling your trip.
Not to mention at the same time you are stuck in the same congestion caused by a inefficient (though comfortable?) mode of transportation.
Agree. I literally have to drive to work. There’s a public transit stop right by my house but then I’d have to take 1 more train, and 2 busses to get within 10 ish blocks of my office. No thanks. Especially in the winter when the homeless chill in the trains and busses taking rips off their crack pipes thinking they’re being sneaky. It smells like burnt plastic. I know what you’re doing. I’m not going to put myself around that.
No idea why you’re getting down voted. Ignoring issues with public transportation is only going to repel people who could otherwise be convinced it’s viable and also more likely that those issues are never addressed in the first place.

It’s almost like people don’t enjoy sharing rides with crackheads that don’t really reach their destination…

did you miss the part about lack of investment or are you being purposefully dense?

You are correct, there are too much crackheads and not enough infrastructure investments.
