I live in one of the top 10 largest cities in the US and the concept of a functional public transportation system is alien. Gotta be at work at 630 or 7 am? Gotta get home from work after 7pm? Too bad that's too early or too late to make it because the bus doesn't run 24 hours.

I think the city busses ran from 6am-8pm? Maybe 9? So not 24 hours but still a good stretch longer than some of the surrounding cities. I know the bus stop near one of my friends only has a bus every 2 hours, and there are days it just doesn't show up.

It's crazy that a large city would have worse transportation than a city of 40-50,000.

I decided riding a bicycle was a better idea for my area, so I didn't use the busses long.

Probably would have gotten way less injuries though...
