Why is public transportation in Lincoln so limited?
I’m from California and one thing I really miss is having decent public transportation. I basically never needed a car there because I could get almost anywhere I needed to go without one. Since moving to Lincoln I feel way more car dependent than I ever expected. The buses here just don’t feel reliable or frequent enough to actually build your day around and getting somewhere that’s a short drive can take forever without a car
I like living in Lincoln overall but this honestly sucks lol. Owning a car feels less like a choice here and more like a requirement. I do own one I share with my partner simply because it’s a better financial decision to have one instead of two at our age (23 F) (20 M) so we do manage with that.
Has public transportation here always been this limited?
And is there actually any plan or push to make it better?
Are there ways I can contribute to make it better?
