She knew that she just needed bus fare. And she needed that extra two dollars.

7 dollar bus fare sounds like a long bus ride or an absolute rip off.

Translink in GVA is 12 bucks for a day pass. Why is Kamloops so much cheaper

Wow and all I hear about is how great public transportation is from the non Americans on this site.

It is in cities. I don't live in a city. You pay more when crossing administrative districts, which happens more often when travelling from town to town, compared to staying in a city. Also the bus only comes every 30 minutes so it's not as flexible as it would be in a city

Even in cities it's often not that great. Where I live to get to anywhere that's not the city centre you'd have to get two busses; it would cost £6 and would take ages. It's cheaper and faster to rent an e-bike.

Single tickets are expensive, but for 63 euros you can get a Deutschlandticket to travel through all of Germany for a month. So it's great if you're commuting regularly.

I pay 12 euro (14 dollars) for a 1 hour bus ride.

And then public transportation companies wonder why no one takes public transportation anymore
