In fact they suck more because they have no trains to ride instead.But in general, buses suck because you usually have to wait outside for them, they are at the mercy of other surface traffic and thus never run on schedule and are always late, they place high g-forces on the riders bodies when they accelerate and stop and turn and there's no good way to hold on usually so it's very uncomfortable, they get stuck in traffic all the time, they're slow, boarding takes forever, it's a pain in the ass to exit them, you never know when they are going to come, there's no way to buy a metrocard, it can be way too hot in there and the windows may be stuck or out of reach, people don't move to the back, there's no destination or route signs on the driver's side, the drivers can pretend they don't see you and drive away, they splash people standing at the curb, they make you step through puddles and snow to get to them if the driver doesn't pull up to the curb, their mirrors can whack people, their motors make the whole back of the bus vibrate uncomfortably, especially at low RPMs, they bunch up - making one bus SRO and another bus virtually empty along the same route at the same time, buses get in other bus's way, they don't pull into bus stops when there are several other buses already there, when they are out of service they take up space in bus stops forcing the in-service buses to stop behind them and making the passengers walk further to their destinations, there's no prominent interior route and destination signs, need I go on? |
