I have basically no experience with mass transit, having lived most of my life in a rural area with only a notoriously unreliable bus line that services the county seat and university area. I’ve played a few hundred hours of Cities: Skylines and love playing pretend with digital infrastructure, but really, when it comes to transit, I am a bumpkin and I know it.

Even I am astounded at the wild ignorance on display in those anecdotes.

Is transit just one of those things that is deeply misunderstood by most people or does this guy know some world-class yokels?
