My father thinks public transit clogs up streets, and we need more cars and lanes. My buses in my city started to do on demand on weekends… Which is more unreliable and instead of waiting for 30mins, now requires using a phone or app to call for a bus. But the bus driver can decide to cancel on your stop and not tell dispatch. It is like a glorified taci service. My city sucks for public transit.

Looks around at what’s mostly the on roads
Looks at the lone bus that gets stuck in traffic with everyone else, carrying around half the people using that stretch of road
Sure…
On demand bus service with basically no reliability feels like they basically don’t exist? That’s just straight up sad. I’m sorry for your loss there.
