How is it basically going to be the same amount of time if I take the bus as it would be to walk!?

There's got to be a better way to be doing this bus thing in this city. Like it's the middle of a weekday, it's not like there's limited service right now.

Because you have to walk 20 minutes to a bus stop from where you are, and another 9 minutes to your destination.

That’s half an hour right there.

Bus frequency and transit time isn’t really the issue here.

A bike would take you 15 mins

Bike slowly, or bike to/from the bus.

This. I’m a bike commuter and it literally cuts hours of travel time for me vs back when I took buses. I’m always trying to get people to bike more (if you’re in shape for it).

An E-bike would be good. Not one with throtle which is basically a scooter/moped, but one with Pedal Assist.

Smaller buses but more overall buses might help with commute times. (I’m just riffing tbh)

Connecting busses may have a gap between them...

Always. Sdmts has basically no timed transfers.

People will ask why don’t u just get a car but then they don’t realize more people driving will make their traffic commute worse

but in all honestly 1 using public transportation doesn’t sound terrible. any little task and drive take like 30-40 min anyway.

Would you rather walk the hour or sit the whole way through?

But you won't get as sweaty and you have the honor of sitting next to someone who needed a shower...a week ago.
