When I lived there I was impressed by the bus system, they weren't always behind schedule like up in Auckland (because of traffic).

I've never ridden one, but going on feedback from people I know their satisfied with it

What, no pictures?
My first career choice, at age eight, was to be a bus driver, and although I never followed through on that, I´ve been a regular passenger on these:-

Then on these:-

And more recently on these:-

If you use it more than twice weekly, it's in your best interest to get a fare card or at least tickets or tokens. Way, way cheaper that way.

There's really not all that much to complain about, though. The maintenance is quite regular and they are replacing the old trains with newer, streamlined ones. And they're thinking about adding more to the underground system.

Yes.

Bus and shoe selfie evidence.

Well that's good then! I have a fare card and get cheaper fares because I'm a student. I think the trains in Auckland may be underground to reach other parts of the city but it will be a long time for it to be made.

Are the tokens in Toronto still those teeny-tiny little things?

£2 a journey here now. Ridiculous they can charge that much tbh.

£2 to where exactly? Cause that doesn't seem so bad. I live between two cities. A fare to either is between £3 and 4 for a 7ish mile journey. A local journey is around £1.30 or something now.

I avoid it at all costs. Chicago, and even the Joliet area have some of the harshest Bus environments known to man. Save for places in the middle East:

I do take the train sometimes though. There's a stop right at a good little disc golf course.

Nowhere near 7 miles. Last time I got the bus it was from Birmingham City University to Brum City Centre so about 1 mile.

What's the max fare?

Maybe I'm just tight I remember when I used to pay 20p.

Haha oh yeah, the standard or max fares have gone up a fair bit over the years. In recent years they introduced a £1 fare anywhere within the boundaries of my town, but thats £1.40 or £1.50 now. I'm 29 now and when I was in my teens it was around 20 or 30p.

Pfft. CTA buses are absolutely fine.

I know. I was being dramatic. I'm sleep deprived so gimme a break.

Here in countryside we don't usually see busses, so **** them.

Here in the city we don't normally see sheep or cows...but I wouldn't necessarily give the same advice.

We won't see them either. We only see horses. I don't wanna **** horses. It reminds me about something I should not have watched

****ing busses is not my hobby though but I know a guy who put his ass into the tailpipe of a bus. And he got a scald so I won't recommend it for anyone.

I haven't taken a bus in a few years but I used to use my town's bus service before I learned how to drive. I don't miss them at all considering some certain types of people that were using them.

Did he have a bus fetish?

Yes he had. I dunno why he put his ass into it and not his penis, he's pretty strange as you might have guessed

His penis would have been the more sensible option. But either way raises serious questions.

There's a 10 minute bus ride that costs £3.50 that I would have to pay if I didn't already have a £12 weekly ticket.

I don't think I've ever been on a public bus.

These, yeah.

They had to make them two toned because people were counterfeiting the old plain silver ones. Seriously. One ride only costs $3 FFS. :laughing:

Also, it's pretty easy to jump the turnstiles at some subway stations since half the time, the ticket takers are either not there or asleep on the job.

Everyday to get to work. Most people in SF are dependent on public transportation since parking is a growing issue (more cars than there are places to park in most neighborhoods). What sucks is MUNI (bus system) is very... unreliable. Population boom in SF courtesy of gentrifying ****wits from the likes of Silicon Valley and LA packing up and truckin over for the second gold rush that is the tech industry have made things extremely difficult for people who actually live here and appreciate the city. MUNI can't seem to keep up with demand so you never know if it's gonna be 2 minutes or a half an hour till your bus and/or train stop by.

just a few times at work


i take the subway a lot when possible


free travel within city limits and low chance of crime, u mad?
