    Even with the added transit time on public transit, it is SIGNIFICANTLY easier and more pleasant than driving since your attention isn’t chained to making sure you don’t kill someone. If you spend a couple of hours farting around on the internet per day you can do that while commuting.

    If you have a long distance to commute then you’re probably not the only one, and your city needs more commuter buses (fewer stops between destinations).

  • Florida is its own beast, here in Los Angeles I spend probably 10+ hours a week on transit and it’s very memorable to even see an argument or deal with truly bad smells (homeless people are common but can be refused service if they smell). Definitely never seen any violence, although I know it happens. I imagine you’re probably more likely to get in a wreck than be attacked on public transit.
