The buses don't run on time. Service is already patchy due to a coverage area larger than both Dallas and Houston's despite only 1/5 the population. When buses do serve an area, the schedules are inconvenient or just ridiculous (running at only 2:00 and 4:00 pm, for example). And much of their services are contracted out to non-city employees that harass the elderly. So, the buses that drive bad routes on bad schedules by bad drivers don't even make their stops on time. The buses are frequently late to their scheduled stops causing riders to miss their connections. A non-viable bus option may be what the city government is looking for, however, as it would allow them to continue with their car-centric, SPID-centric plans.
