#bus system

My habit of hurriedly and suddenly leaving an event at just the right amount of time to make the next bus…. Is probably rude now that I think about it.

In the general discourse people talk about cars vs buses but there’s one article I remember that had an interesting idea, it was about letting private bus companies compete with the public bus company. This only applies in the context of Hawaii since the bus system is run by a government owned company and private companies aren’t allowed to do regular transportation like the public bus company does so as a result they ferry around tourists. This article came from a local think-tank but they mentioned that having private bus companies be allowed to compete with the public bus company would help increase public transportation and reduce traffic. Which is significant since the bus system here is well liked because of how shitty our traffic is. (There’s more that can be debated on it but that’s how it is here.) It’s an interesting take since this kind of thing doesn’t get mentioned on the national level whenever think pieces talk about cities so I thought it was interesting. The progressives would hate it since they want everything to be government owned.

I honestly hate southern Ontario.

Me: the weather is bad so I will check the bus app so I don't have to wait for a bus in the harsh rain
