you have buses so you're lucky. lol
and the entirety of kern county felt like a west coast version of the new jersey turnpike
I "technically" have busses near my house. The bus stop is on the corner and the grocery store is about 2 miles away. No brainer right?
Nope. Because the bus only comes every 45 minutes (according to the schedule, good luck if you trust it) and it takes 2.5hrs to go from my stop to the one next to the grocery store.
Or I can just walk the 25 mins or whatever it takes me to walk there.
Definitely lucky.
The city I currently live in is making a HUGE push for public transportation. Fixing roads, adding a ton of bike lanes, lighting up paved trails thought the city, adding train station stops, free parking garages, and MAKING ALL BUSES FREE FOR EVERYONE. You can even call a bus to come pick you up. Its actually insane what they have done in the last year or two.
Not moving anytime soon thats for sure.
