    If transit was funded properly it would work but I don’t think there’s a single city in North America with a properly funded transit system. Where I live, traveling with kids means you’re waiting for a bus for 30-45 minutes for it to show up packed and no room left for you. So it’s a nightmare. I don’t even have a car but I wish I did, cause getting around on transit can take you 2 hours to travel 20 km

      Some parts of LA are well covered. I took a bus from Hollywood to Pasadena and it was on a 10 minute schedule. The bus wasn’t packed, very clean. I also take the train and while they are trying, there’s still a lot of crazies.
