notorious made a good point that every missed. commuter buses + transit doesn't help people live without cars. for example it's good and easy to take the train or bus to the CBD for work here in sydney but trying to take the irregular, slow roundabout transit to go cross town to visit friends or do shopping is a major pain and driving is way easier and faster

most cities need a good network instead of a CBD focused network that only caters to the 9-5 M-F crowd. i believe houston recently fixed their network to make it work for people who need to go other places than the centre of town and it sounds way better

also we only give buses priority lanes in peak hour so if you're on the bus on the weekend or during the day you're stuck in traffic and may as well drive. lmao.
