I've heard this argument before. I didn't know how to potentially respond to it until they actually changed the prices.

Just google maps a trip, and notate the time difference in driving by car and getting there by bus. If you make more than $10/hr, you've already made that back by getting there that much sooner. and you didn't have to deal with the guy masturbating in the corner, or the creeper trying to look up your skirt.
And are these people who masturbate in the corner or who are creeping up your skirt in the room right now? (Not seen 'em here is what I'm saying.)
You joke, but depending on the area transit can range from really good to REALLY bad.
Things have gotten really shitty in my city (Calgary, Alberta), my friend takes transit so I hear the horror stories. Homeless people openly doing drugs, screaming at people walking by, sometimes ODing and dying. I've had to leave work to pick up my friend after a homeless guy tried to grab her and was following her with two of his buddies until she went into a restaurant to call me.
The last time I had to take transit on my own they hadn't cleaned the blood off the wall from the stabbing a couple weeks prior (2023 had a transit stabbing every few weeks).
I seriously wish I was making this up as it's been cartoonishly awful the last couple of years.
