I don't think you understand, if a bus goes every 30min then you're fine, in the old days you had to walk or take a horse carriage.
Cars=bad?
It takes 30 minutes for a bus just to reach the city, faggot.
And? It takes 15-20 by car and you can do other stuff meanwhile.
Wow it's almost like the first production cars were originally created for the purpose of traversing rural areas.
So let me get this straight. I know you're trolling, but fuck it.
You're suggesting a bus pick up and drop people off in the city, drive by every house whether or not they need to go to town, and then get to the city, drop them off, and repeat?
First, that's a shitload of gas and a waste of money. Second, a waste of time. It takes the mail lady a solid 5-6 hours to drive around just the township to deliver mail. That's the most efficient possible route.
Say we get multiple buses to do it. What's the point when there's 1 person a square mile? It just won't work.
I'm not trolling, literally it would be possible with a great network and huge budget (but less than privately owned cars). Also the morons on the roads would be eliminated and traffic jams forgotten
>make the bus electric
>make the bus self-driving
>get an app where you can flag down the bus to make the next stop at your place
>create "park and ride" locations that optimise bicycle travel and bus stop points to reduce bus travel times
>stop living in the middle of nowhere
There are buses in the high mountains of Nepal that stop at every house along the road, because no one owns a car. Sure, the rides are long, but it's 50 year-old buses riding on 40 year old roads in the mountains, I'm sure it'd work great on american flats.
You're a stupid fuck. A great network and a huge budget are not feasible, nor wanted.

Nepal is tiny, I'm not concerned about the reliability of buses, etc. I'm worried about time and efficiency. We have 0 cell signal out here. hell, most of us don't have internet. Not just because we can't, but we don't want it. We have no use for it, and it's just another bill. How the fuck am I going to use an app when I have a flip phone?
Do you think everyone is just instantly going to try and commit to the soyboy way of life? Owning and operating a vehicle is about individual freedom. The ability to be in control of your life, not something else. If I want to go to the grocery store at 3AM? I can. I don't have to wait on a stupid fucking bus. If I have to be at work at 5AM? I can, and not have to wait on the damn bus. On the weekend if I get a wild hair up my ass to go on a road trip to Indy or something? I can. I'm not waiting on some stupid fucking bus.
I live in the middle of nowhere, because it is my home and my way of life. When faggots like you from the big cities come trying to tell us how to live with your condescending attitude, it pisses us off and makes us reject any idea you may have. Good or bad.
So fuck off back to your automated life style. I will stick with my individual freedom mobile, and you can ride with a stick up your ass in some shitty fucking bus.

Then literally just ride a horse to town you silly luddite. At least then, you'll truly have "individual freedom" independent of international oil politics, mega oil corps, local gas stations, your local mechanic and my ass subsidising your indulgent lifestyle.
