I don't see how taking the bus could be reliable for work purposes. At least you would have to get up early and just hope and pray that a bus comes and that you're not late.

It’s extremely reliable in other cities. Not this one.

I dunno if that's true. I was on a bus in Boston not too long ago and a homeless guy peed on a lady and they stopped the bus and kicked everyone off and told us to kick rocks instead of sending another bus out.

I was told that wasnt uncommon.

I've never had a significant issue taking the Pulse to work. Maybe a delay by a few minutes, but nothing too bad, especially if you're tracking with the GRTC app (not Apple Maps).

It's outside of commuting hours that I've had significant issues.

It was a little more reliable pre-COVID. I don't know if it's bad now because of a driver shortage or because it's free fare so they don't have the funding/will to improve anymore.
