The bus is definitely not perfect, but as someone who lives a carless life by choice, it’s not terrible. I felt the same way at first but if you just stick with it and give it a little time to figure out it’s kinks and stuff it isn’t so bad. I take the bus to bus most morning in the winter and am only late on a very rare occasion.

But in all seriousness. Ride a bike. It’s much more realistic and convenient in the city. My bike is my primary form of transportation.
