14 days agoThe bus here would be pretty nice, it’s around $2 for a one-way ticket or (I think) $5 for a day pass which includes the LRT.
The problem is, I have to drive to the bus stop or walk about 3 miles down a very dangerous, rural road that doesn’t have space to walk on the side of it most of the time… and the bus arrives “every 30 minutes” which ends up actually being about once an hour.
The LRT portion of it is great though aside from having to drive to the station. It’s much faster than driving and is consistently on time so I do use it whenever I’m trying to go somewhere near one of its stops
Biking helps but still is very dangerous with little to no biking infrastructure (Just a painted line that varies from generous amounts of space to literally no space at all forcing you in the road) where drivers just love driving 60+mph in a 45 zone lol.
and the inconsistency of the bus being on time makes the risk just not worth it most of the time so I just end up driving everywhere and feeling bad about it haha
