[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live 2 blocks from a metro station and back when I used to commute downtown for my highly-compensated professional job, I took the bus. So, it's not all poors. The bus is often faster, it goes more places, and it's more flexible; if traffic is bad, I just ask the driver to let me off and I walk. In COVID times, the huge advantage of the bus is the ability to open the windows. Even with the bus, though, the same basic density arguments apply. One of the reasons the bus is a great option for me is that I have 15 different bus routes that stop within two blocks of my house. [/quote] Same. Much prefer bus. However, same arguments don't apply. Density arguments are singularly focused on metro stops. Bus access is much more diffused through the city and more rational to build throughout the city answering needs for different lifestyles + choices, rather than pushing height excepted concrete clusters around metro stops.[/quote]
