I appreciate public transit twitter, but IMO there's a massive misunderstanding about how accessible transit is to people who've grown up exclusively within car culture. Biking in a CITY? Terrifying. Fare & schedule logistics? Indecipherable. This is not easy for a lot of people.

Oh, I wasn't thinking about buses. Yes, having cash for fares is an issue. It can also be hard to find the stop, due to nonexistent or inscrutable signs.
I've really loved the NYC subway/BART — those systems are a lot more user-friendly, and the ticketing is a lot more... introvert-friendly. But especially in the bay, using public transit can mean taking three entirely different systems with walks in between. At night. Alone.

Not ideal! I once got tired of waiting for a late bus & walked. Got to my destination about a mile and a half later & beat the bus by about 30s. So add uncertainty to the list of objections, as well.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
