Generally when public transit is bad, it's bad on purpose.
There's an insane amount of money flowing to keep people from ditching their cars, and actively rat-ficking any meaningful step that could be taken to fix public transit.
I feel like a conspiracy nutjob, but I can't see another reason for it sometimes.
The last bus in my city is about 10-20 minutes before most theater shows end in our downtown. So I can take the bus to go see a show, but I can't take one back unless I rudely leave during the final scene. Same deal for things like bar trivia. It's like they want people to drive drunk.
And I can't feasibly walk home because there's two goddamn highways bisecting the city that make getting from downtown to my neighborhood take five times as long to walk as it should.
