People make not wanting to ride the bus to be a class thing when it's really an "I don't want COVID or to be assaulted for the millionth time" thing. Like sorry busses here aren't like Springdale, Ontario or wherever the fuck

@eris@yourwalls.today - https://yourwalls.today/users/eris this is the case in basically all of America lol. They make the bus shitty on purpose

@anemone@ebiverse.social @eris@yourwalls.today in my country the busses are shitty because of varied reasons

@mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @anemone@ebiverse.social @eris@yourwalls.today tfw the bus is only 5 hours late instead of 6 and the bus driver only got his hands cut off by the local cartel rather than his head.

@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @anemone@ebiverse.social @eris@yourwalls.today lol this april in Lima there were like 5 if not more bus drivers murdered due to extortion, not far off. They are currently doing a strike that might become national due to these issues. I really hope this happens because crime rates and criminals are getting out of control.

@mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @anemone@ebiverse.social @eris@yourwalls.today Makes you wonder how they still recruit bus drivers honestly

@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @anemone@ebiverse.social @eris@yourwalls.today people have to work, people have to get to their destinations. I just really hate the situation here. It wasn't this bad before the hordes of venezuelans came.

@mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @anemone@ebiverse.social @arcana@fedi.layer02.net @eris@yourwalls.today get a motorcycle

eris - https://yourwalls.today/users/eris Public transportation, at least in the USA, is absolutely terrible. Totally under-developed, underfunded, unreliable, broken, dirty, and in many cases outright dangerous. And, rarely does it really take you to the places that you want to go to. Whereas, for example, public transportation in virtually every larger city in China I've gone to (Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing, Beijing, Shenyang, Xi'an, etc.) was mature, clean, reliable, safe, functional, efficient, useful, etc.. Basically the antonym of whatever I can conjure up regarding public transportation in the USA. The public transportation in San Francisco is actually pretty good, though.I think a major reason for the American public transportation system being trash, too, is just 100 years of suburban development---nothing is really close to anything nor convenient to get to. America is not urbanized, and public transportation really necessitates urbanization. Public transportation is not useful if the closest stop to the place I want to get to still necessitates a 30--60 minute walk to get there, or hailing some ride-share or whatever.

@adiz@mtl.jinxian.casa what did you go to China for? I'm jealous

@EllisDee@wolfgirl.bar @anemone@ebiverse.social @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @eris@yourwalls.today Yes, die in an accident before the cartel can even get to you

@eris@yourwalls.today @adiz@mtl.jinxian.casa He lives there

@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @anemone@ebiverse.social @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @eris@yourwalls.today Motorcycles aren't really that dangerous

@EllisDee@wolfgirl.bar @anemone@ebiverse.social @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @eris@yourwalls.today 315 motorcyclists were killed in Great Britain in 2023 alone

@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @anemone@ebiverse.social @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @eris@yourwalls.today Thats it? Live a little

@EllisDee@wolfgirl.bar @anemone@ebiverse.social @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @eris@yourwalls.today Certainly not during the afternoon on Saturdays and Sundays

@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @anemone@ebiverse.social @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @eris@yourwalls.today Don't be a risk averse pussy. motorcycles are great

@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @anemone@ebiverse.social @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @EllisDee@wolfgirl.bar @eris@yourwalls.today and how many died from slipping and falling in the bathroom more importantly, how many died from depression from having to eat bri'ish food?

@skylar@misskey.yandere.love @anemone@ebiverse.social @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @EllisDee@wolfgirl.bar @eris@yourwalls.today The food here is honestly pretty great

@skylar@misskey.yandere.love @anemone@ebiverse.social @arcana@fedi.layer02.net @mischievoustomato@tsundere.love @EllisDee@wolfgirl.bar @eris@yourwalls.today The death rate from eating bri'ish food is 100% percent. Anyone who has ever eaten bri'ish food will DIE.
