Well, I'm probably exaggerating somewhat - it's worth pointing out that bus lines are significantly more common. They just tend to mostly suck, for a lot of reasons. And on a regional (rather than a municipal) scale, it trends towards nonexistent.

Yeah. The buses aren't exactly amazing. Our town's bus route had two stops and was only ever serviced by two bus drivers: Barry and Hitler.
They were also the same company contracted by the school service to do the north bus. So our school bus drivers were also Barry and Hitler.

da

wait, one of your bus drivers was literally named Hitler or was that just a nickname?

Well it was a nickname, but he had a very neat moustache and a very shitty personality:

We didn't have separate buses for the disabled and my friend used walking aids and he told her if she couldn't get up the stairs without help she couldn't ride the bus.

If anyone lost a bus pass (even before swipe cards) he wouldn't let them on even though he knew where they lived and they had no other way of getting there/home.

We didn't have a bus shelter so if it was pissing down rain (tropical summer storms) we'd stand under the fruit shop roof (clearly visible from the road) but if we weren't on the footpath when he was at the top of the hill, he'd rev the bus and drive past us. If we chased it, he'd honk to tell us "yes I see you and I don't give a shit". We'd have to walk to the train station and buy tickets or get on illegally ($200 fine) to get to school.

I could go on. That fucker was the worst. He was a nasty racist too, and he made lots of comments about different kids who had to take the bus.

To this day I still flip him off if I see him driving around.

Wow, what an asshole. I don't understand what would drive someone to be like towards anyone much less a bunch of kids.

No idea. I hope someone gets him doing shit like this on a camera phone and it goes viral.

Barry was the complete opposite. He used to give people free rides if they were going to friend's houses or if it was raining and they lived in the exclusion zone for free passes. If I see him around town I always give him a wave. Top bloke.

ewwwwww. I hope he gets fired.

Me too. We reported him to the school but I don't think they did anything about that, or the P.E. teacher who used to walk into the girl's change room to "hurry us along". Fuck that place.

ugh ugh ugh

I had a creepy PE/health teacher in middle school but not THAT creepy

how is that acceptable in any stretch of the imagination

Nah, you're not really exaggerating. I live in Indianapolis which, while not nearly as big as the places you listed above, is still a substantial city, and public transit sucks ass here. I think I've ridden the bus maybe twice? The town I went to college in actually had a better bus system but I only used that because it was convenient to campus and free for students.

Seriously, public transit in the US is awful. It's kinda sad. :/
