    Welp, guess I’m not going to work tomorrow because there’s no busses nor metro (even within the city there’s shit for busses and no metro, and I have to travel two towns into the country where busses are mostly conceptual). Does “hopping a freight and hopefully not getting caught by the bulls in the yard and then hoping they slow down enough in the town I need to jump off in” count as “public transport?”

    Know what? I think I’ll just drive.

        For 27km down a busy highway before 7am, with a backpack full of tools, manual labor for 8h, and 27km back down that busy highway to get home?

        Do you bike 54km to your manual labor job every day?

      In the harbor here, employers ran into that issue. They couldn’t find anyone to work there anymore. Turns out you make more money working in a supermarket and bike than drive to the harbor and pay for the car and gas despite the harbor job making significant more.
