(10,947 posts)The Bay Area is a funny case. I have never - in my entire life - seen a public transportation system this mismanaged and yet with the stones to whine about everything all day everyday.
They think they're the New York subway system.
We have a train system that barely runs (a train per 20 mins on weekends and at night at best, assuming no delays). That's kind of expensive. That doesn't run overnight. That always has problems. With stations that are not in amazingly accessible locations.
All they do is ask for money. Constantly. Endlessly. WFH is just their latest thing.
And that's not even discussing AC Transit or Muni. "When does the bus/train come?" Whenever it wants! Could be in the next two minutes. Maybe you won't see the fucking thing for another hour. It's anyone's guess. Hope you didn't make any plans!
Uber and Lyft took off in San Francisco, because this god forsaken city needed them.
Sorry. I have thoughts about public transportation in the Bay Area. After moving here, I tried being reliant on public transportation. Then I realized I could almost never guarantee being at work on time unless I left very stupidly early everyday. Fuck it. Bought a car.
And yes, our highways are jam packed everyday.
Do not miss commuting.
