4 days agoI don’t know if this is the right solution, but a big reason I stopped bringing my family on city buses was because of belligerant personalities making things stressful/scary as fuck on 3 out of my 4 last rides (and less frequently but still really dangerous experiences before that) The frequency was just getting too high and I hit my limit.
Hopefully I just had really shit luck, but if it can happen to me, it can happen to others, and I really want public transit to work.
But all it takes is a system that can’t prevent a few rotten apples from spoiling it for everyone else.
They can make safety, fuel efficiency, usability, and comfort improvements AND enshittify things too! These are complicated machines.
