Also, nothing wrong with taking public transit when you can’t use a scooter or bike, or bring them on public transit with you. A lot of people tend to fixate on “what thing can work for 100% of situations”, and that mindset is how you end up with nothing and keep driving your car hoping that some future miracle gadget comes out (it won’t). If you can use a scooter or bike most of the year where there’s no snow, don’t sweat the relatively small amount of time you can’t use it. The right tool for the job is more important that a single tool for every job.
That’s a sign of a bad transit system, not an issue with the concept of public transportation. There are plenty of systems in the world where it’s essentially true hop on hop off, don’t even need to read a schedule because vehicles come so often you can just show up and generally expect to be on your way in minutes.

yeah, I’ve been taking the bus lately. pretty convenient when two buses from the same line don’t stack up and make you wait twice as long

it’s a bad transit system but it used to be worse!!! I used to wait for an hour and 40 minutes for a bus that was supposed to come once an hour
