Whenever I bring up transit commenters inevitably point out that most Americans have tremendous class bias against public transit, especially buses, and that's large reason that people won't use it. I actually don't think this is as true as people think, but in any case in places which have decent high frequency service the stereotype just isn't true. I'm on the bus right now and as is the case normally there's a mix of age, race, and apparent class.
The bus will deliver me to Chinatown, where I will have a most excellent lunch.
