But how does the bus driver get to work?

  1. Dormitory day before morning shift
  • Example: Moscow metro, national railway
  1. Night shift
  • Example: major city, national railway
  1. PMV
  • Example: a city
  1. Car
  • Example: shithole without public transit

To be fair 1 person using car is not 450 people that could use a car. To be fair at most 20% of people have a car in heavily car-centric cities. In good cities it hangs in single-digit.

At some point, public transport had housing nearby the depots. Employees could walk or bicycle to the workplace.

Then some douchebag neoliberal thinking @&€#!?/((+ thought it was privilege and that it has to be cut...
