Public transportation, why I hate it

[BadassFuckinGoliathNomad]

So I'm supposed to be getting on the 90 to get to my house. I call up (because I transferred over from another bus) I call up the bus information thing, and it said the bus is coming in 10mins. I said ok, 10mins, not bad.

45mins later it's still not there. I call again, apparently it's now 27mins lol.

A few mins later I ask one of the bus drivers, (because I am at a terminal, so there are a few buses there at a time) and he said it should be coming in after a couple minutes.

A guy comes in and says that he's driving the 90. Said he's goiing to be leaving in 10mins.

Then lol, another bus on route 90 comes in, and that dude is just going nuts, "ARE YOU GOING ON THE 90? WELL ITS RIGHT HERE GET ON GET ON GET ON" the dude said that he was the 2;20 bus, and I look at my watch, its 2;50, so this guy doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. ALl of a sudden, he leaves, I'm standing there confused as hell, and then I end up waiting another 20mins for the other 90 lol. 

This is why I ride a bike everywhere, that and the fact that it's alot more fun than the bus.

In germany it's okay. There are busses and train stations everywhere.

Sure...

I have only had good experiences with the Tube in London, which is arguably the best form of public transport there, maybe apart from Boris Bikes. It's never failed me but the air in there is terrible.

 

Also the hired coaches that the council does for transportation to and from my school, depending on the company they can be 30-45 minutes late, or more. They usually arrive when people have just finished getting on the ones that are always on time.

Its pretty good here in Norway, and google maps is pretty good at getting the timings of the buses right (they usually arent very late)

You can call fucking buses? You're lucky if they fucking stop during rush hour here in Mexico and if they do, they'd be so crowded you'll have to enter through the back door and force yourself inside that living, sweating armpit called "bus"

 

And even I have it good, try catching this fucking bus:

Public transportation is pretty good in Portugal. I still drive everywhere though.

I live in the Netherlands and the public transportation is pretty damn good.

Sure, you'll miss the next bus sometimes, but often times there'll be another one coming within 20 minutes at the very least.

That, plus that you can oftentimes ask the bus-driver if he can ask if the next bus can wait a minute. Usually works out fine.
