#174025 - That's a typical U.S. problem Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Public transportation in the U.S. is not sufficiently regular and frequent to be useful, with very few exceptions. I remember that when I was in Europe, transportation was available whenever in the day/night I needed it, and, while not always as frequent as I wished, it was available. In my neighborhood, the busses run three or four times in the morning on weekdays, and as many times in the evening, but if you want to ride it to dinner, you're out of luck, and even more so later on.
Weekends ... for get it! Rather than occasionally having a bus run without passengers, they want us, in the residential region of the city, to fire up our pickup truck with the 5.6 liter gas-guzzler and drive to the store/restaurant/shopping center. How very green of them. RE |
