What can we conclude from that?

Choose one:
Public transportation will never work because you have to wait 90
minutes for a bus
or
If more people took the bus they would run them more frequently so the
wait is minimal. Very convenient and cost effective.

Right. And to get it going it may need to run at a loss... though that \"loss\"
really is still a gain for society and the environment.

Anything running at a loss is stupid. But let\'s all scrounge off others shall we? Typical Jew.

It is a loss only from a very myopic view point. The big picture matters.

Let\'s invest in our own society so we are ALL better off.

Not sure what the means, other than antisemitic nonsense.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

2 hours by car, 6 hours by public transport. Dafuq?

Even more ridiculous, 6 hours by public transport, 7 hours by bicycle!
Public transport is hardly faster than a bicycle!

1 day on foot! Trains go a whole 4 times faster than me walking!

Just close them down.

A taxi is also Public Transport.

No, as only one person uses it.

Or would you say my car is public transport because it had a previous owner?

And if you drive, then you have to deal with parking. If you work
downtown, that can be difficult and expensive.

Don\'t work in such stupid places then.

For me in Seattle, it takes me about twice the drive time to get
somewhere by bus or bicycle. Less, if traffic is bad, because traffic
rarely affects bicycles.

Why the fuck do you live in Seattle? Go use some of the vast countryside in America.

How is it healthy to cycle in a city?

What about rental cycles and eScooters?

A mate and some friends spent a long weekend at a beer festival in
Munich and said they were fantastic. Pick some up from where you are,
activate them via the app, go where you want and log out and leave them.
If you come out of a place (typically a tourist attraction) and the
scooters you had were gone, there would generally be some a short
distance away.

He said the difference between there and say where they have trialled
here in the UK is respect and social responsibility.

They weren\'t left all over the footpath but out of the way, up against a
wall or fence.

They were never found damaged, especially vandalised and any that were
left a bit out of the way or too flat to use were collected up and / or
the battery replaced for a fully charged one.

I have reported many of the \'Boris / Santander\' hire bikes abandoned
here (well outside of their typical patch) and they are always recovered
pretty promptly (before the local scum destroy them).

This is illogical. If you use an app to use them, they know who left them there, and they can bill you.

When did parents stop teaching the respect for other peoples property to
their children, as can generally seen by all the damage and graffiti on
all sorts of public transport and property?

It\'s always been like that. But as a kid I was a constructive vandal. I took pieces of electrical stuff I could use, or cut holes in fences so people could access stuff we weren\'t meant to, like a half built playground. Way more fun when the platforms just ended and you could jump off a 3 metre high platform.

You\'ve just described uber.

A better model would be many people requesting a ride, and vans
picking several people up at nearby places and dropping them at nearby
places.

Or dynamic carpooling with strangers, known registered non-carjackers.

Not true. They have a plate that says [SP], that is, Public Service.
Same as Buses.

you call the driver and the route is planned accordingly, so you maybe to wait
little and take a detour to pick other up

There\'s a similar thing in Truckee. I think it\'s free.

Good job for part-timers, mothers with kid schedules, retired folk.
