People ask me all the time if taking the bus is stressful but like. bruh I’m zoned out scrolling social media the entire time at the bus stop and on the bus. Or I’m just straight up zoned out. I don’t have to pay attention even to my own driving let alone the rest of these people. And also once in a blue moon the bus driver does something utterly wild like execute a perfect K-turn on a crowded city street in the ice without touching a single car to route around a detour (my mind was blown).
Bus drivers are magicians, I always think “where is he even going to go there’s not even close to enough space” and they just magic the bus smaller to fit while I’m panicking the whole time thinking we’re about to crash.
The world would be a better place if people spent more time recognizing and admiring skilled labor. Like even people who mostly just move and make things. The level of dexterity alone is just 👨🍳🤌💋
Hiking in the arctic pulling a sled with all your gubbins… or having 12-16 fluffy doggos pull you and the sled for the love of the game?
At one point I had a 55min commute using transit but would usually get hard by weather as 2 of my stops didn’t have cover. Also the occasional meth/fent heads, missed connections, overcrowding…
Or sit in my car on a 45min commute.
Eventually I met it halfway by joining a vanpool but that shit still cost more than mass transit and got expensive when my employer cut transit vouchers.
Around here, if someone complains about a two hour freeway commute, it’s “man up, it’s just part of life!”
Walkable doesn’t mean only walking

Just like portable software doesn’t mean that the only thing you do with software is porting it.
I have to commute by car to commute by bus so I’ve started just commuting by car

Locking to prevent more reports about absolutely braindead takes. Some of y’all clearly aren’t adults
I don’t mind being stuck in stop and go traffic because it’s a great time to play candy crush
I know it’s a joke but like, that’s what the bus/train is for.
Can’t play candy crush on the bus because then something bad could happen while I’m distracted
I don’t want to be crowded around strangers, feeling awkward and anxious, in a shitty big vehicle that is constantly jerking and rumbling and takes 4x as long to get where I need to go.
Im sticking to cars. The fuckcars group can suck a fat one. And this is the only place I can vent about it so why not.
