Busses themselves don't suck. Busses are fantastic when they are planned properly and have the infrastructure built to support them.
If your local bus system sucks, then it's a poorly implemented system that needs to be fixed.
@Crankenstein @xelareko
And if they are noisy, full of vibrations and stinky, that too has been fixed.
Electric buses are available.
I should have been more specific. The buses in Queens suck not necessarily that the concept of busses suck. I hate driving so much. I would much rather take the train or subway or anything really. The city has a lot more important things to tackle than a functioning but kind of shitty bus system though.
