Common misconceptions about buses - They are dirty - They are slow and/or inefficient - They are only for poor people - They do not go where I want to go (10% of the time this is justified) - They are not frequent enough (10% of the time this is justified) Some tips for a better bus experience - Look around while driving or walking and notice where there are buses. A well designed system has lines on roads with commercial or residential areas on both sides - Get familiar with your local transit agency’s website, particularly the maps and schedules pages - If your agency’s complete network map does not have frequency information, DEMAND that it be included because they know better than to leave out frequency. - Get to know the line(s) closest to you and where they go and what connects to them and where those connections go (roughly) - Try riding. Start off with whatever is comfortable and ease into riding over time. Don’t rush if you are not immediately comfortable.
