    It’s fucking cold out there too! It feels like there’s no quality control of the service, only customer compliance. Did you pay for the shitty service? No? Then we won’t attack the shitty service, just you. Are you on a bus now or still waiting?

      Finally on a bus, but fuck me that was a long (and cold) wait.

      It really is shite, you’d think it’d be an easy fix too; each inspector costs 100k a year, drop them and the ticketing system and it’s quite likely it’d break even (also, y’know, it’s a public service. I already pay for it out of my taxes, why am I getting double-charged?)

        It’s definitely insane how expensive buses are relative to the quality of service. I’ve relied on PT for most of my adult life but I won’t lie, I don’t miss it for the most part over here.
