    Even in New York, that bus is either a completely miserable experience, require strict departure times, and might make your commute a lot longer.

    I can’t imagine how awful they are in other places.

      New York isn’t a bastion of excellent public transport. Other places do it better and buses can be good.

          Most cities in Europe & Asia. I live in Zurich and the buses are pretty much just as good as the trains and trams (which are top notch).

        Bussing during rush hour sucks no matter what city it is. I’d rather bike, or if I could, I’d drive.

        Well actually… driving during rush hour also sucks so I’m not sure between the two. During non-peak hours it’s not bad, kind of expensive though.
