I'd like to enjoy public transit, but between how terrible of a service it is due to underfunding and NIMBYs, that and my severe OCD & germaphobia prevent me from using it. It makes my skin crawl.
But I also recognize how useful of a tool it is for a city.
I always have to take a shower when I come home from a day of public transportation. Shit’s nasty as hell.
Same, but for being outside in general. If I'm touching things outside, I get a shower the moment I get home. I just can't stand it.
Ah that sucks to hear. Surely you're in the US? There are a lot of other countries where it's great
Yup. My city itself is pretty decent in comparison to the average U.S. city from what I can tell. But we have basically zero rail transit, and every journey by bus forces you to take one downtown and another to your destination at a minimum, if not 3 busses. It turns a 20 minute trip into a 1-3 hour trip. They've got like no funding, no dedicated bus lanes, etc.
Between that and the smell of piss, I just can't do it.
