Article about an experiment from Brisbane, Australia.

The system is rigged. If you’re dependent on the bus in a city where everything is miles apart, the buses run every hour and only daytime hours, of course it’s going to suck.

I remember in Australia, trying to meet my friends in the city center. I had a bus scheduled every hour, sometimes it didn’t come though, so I could be waiting over an hour for the bus to take me to the nearest train station. The train was every forty minutes, so it would easily take me two hours to get there. Then I had to hope they showed up too.

I later found I could bike and it would take about an hour.
