Why Do People Think Taking The Bus Is Degrading?

Question

Everyone I know takes the bus, and I even walk to work know. Some people who live 5 minutes or 10 minutes away refuse to take the bus and waste all that money on gas.

Have people in America become spoiled?

Do you take the Bus/Bart to work? If you don't why not?

Answer 1

In big cities people don't think its degrading. Even people who wear nice suits, have their own office, and make a million a year take the bus simply to avoid hassel. Also whats more degrading.

1. Taking the bus and having extra money to have fun with.

2. Or not being able to go on a date because you took your car to an expensive restraunt called chevron.

If people are giving you c**p about it tell them to shove it.

Answer 2

Wow, in New York city, taking a bus is what we know...or subway. The place is so expensive and congested a bus/train is the fastest root anywere, or walking. If you have a car thats great! But a lot of people take the transit.

Answer 3

I don't know! I prefer it to driving (or the Underground), you get to take in the scenery and people watch. Actually, I usually walk if I can.

Answer 4

I belong to an upper middle class family but despite of this, i still commute in going to work coz i dunno how to drive. Not all people who take bus to work are lowly ones. Also if i go to short distances, i prefer to walk. Aside from saving up on money, its also a good exercise.

People should learn to be more practical sometimes & not just rely on sedentary way of living.  No wonder obesity is the number one problem there in the US.

Answer 5

I live in both Europe and in Las Vegas.

I don't really mind the bus in Europe, everyone uses them even though we have a car here too.

in Vegas, last year we were only living there for 6 months and trying just to save to come back to Europe. My husband and I shared a car, a couple of times we each took the bus.It was so slow and so bad in Vegas that I just got up early and drove him to work and picked him up.

By car he would get home in 15min. by bus,over 90min. to get home.

Answer 6

I agree. where  I live in England, folk think only the poor who cant afford a car use them. I earn £40,000 a year and I use buses as I am c**p at driving.
