What is the public transportation system like in your city?

Question

How many days a week/hours a day does it run? Is it reliable?

Answer 1

It runs every  day but is not reliable in the rain.

Answer 2

In Central California (Bakersfield), transportation is like the normal large city, ie., busline, taxi, carpooling, and of course lots of cycling.  The GET (Golden Empire Transit) Busline runs 7 days weekly from 6 a.m. through 10 p.m. in most places.  The transit runs from the local inner city, county and outer towns of Bakersfield.  About a 45 mile radius of Bakersfield.  It's not bad for the price you pay, you could travel a long distance on a couple of dollars - great for saving fuel and ruining your own car when a person wants to head to the mountainous towns through the canyon without driving themselves there and be back home the same day without getting stranded.

Answer 3

Los Angeles:  pretty good, virtually 24 hours.

Orange County:  a lot worse, but still usable

San Diego:  all right

All 3 are pretty reliable and on time, although infrequent in some cases.

Answer 4

In Milwaukee we have buses that run 7 days a week. The buses run from about 4:30am till about 1:30am of the next day. so there's a 3 hour period where the buses are not running. They run about every 15-20 min but slower on Sundays and holidays.

Its pretty reliable unless its snowing but thats understandable. I took the bus for about 3 years to work and school and the bus was late maybe about 5 times out of the 3 years. So its pretty reliable.

Answer 5

i live in pittsburgh and i take the bus to school and i'll tell you what, anybody who lives here and takes the 16D knows what sardines feel like!

Answer 6

In general, the MBTA is fine, but sometimes it get really bad with "disabled trains", "switching problems", and other things like that.  But generally it's fine.

Answer 7

Really great here in Ireland . The horse drawn trams are always bang on time , every Tuesday ,Friday & Sunday without fail, just like clockwork.

Answer 8

Arriva North East & Stagecoach on Teesside provide the main bus services. They run from 5am to about midnight 7 days a week, on many different routes. Stagecoach buses are good, however Arriva are overpriced and very unreliable.

I'm in the unfortunate position of living in an Arriva only area, and i dont half wish it was Stagecoach, or Go North East (A big company from about 1hr up the road, who run one express bus to Teesside, who are very good)
