The bus here would be pretty nice, it’s around $2 for a one-way ticket or (I think) $5 for a day pass which includes the LRT.
The problem is, I have to drive to the bus stop or walk about 3 miles down a very dangerous, rural road that doesn’t have space to walk on the side of it most of the time… and the bus arrives “every 30 minutes” which ends up actually being about once an hour.
The LRT portion of it is great though aside from having to drive to the station. It’s much faster than driving and is consistently on time so I do use it whenever I’m trying to go somewhere near one of its stops
Driving to the station can be a good solution for more rural or spread out areas to still have access to transit in denser areas. It helps keep the cars away from the denser areas. It isn’t perfect but its better than funneling cars straight downtown.
