I used to take the bus to work for years. Was never late for work because of the bus. Busses have a schedule. As a result they cannot wait. However, because of factors beyond their control they aren't always able to be exact on their route. Get to the stop at least 15 minutes early and be patient. Also it is a good idea to leave plenty of time to get to your destination. Much better to have to wait there than be late for work.

I completely understand, I hated that.
If the bus before that one gets there at say 7:58 and the other one leaves earlier than its supposed to then you'll almost always miss it. That's why its important for buses to always be on time (not early or late) because one or two minutes in either direction really does make a difference.

@coffeedimplez Transit unions and cities do not care, all they care about is if the buses are running and collecting fares.

1. If the bus waited for everyone with a 'legitimate' excuse, it would never reach its destination.
2.'On time' for an 8am anything means getting there at 7:50.

@NativeOregonian It's not my fault that the bus was too early. I left the house at 7:50am.
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@ElizabethBabe1994 I am not saying it is your fault. I learned early on when I was taking TriMet in Portland to always be at your stop ten minutes earlier than scheduled because drivers are known to speed to compensate for those stops that have a lot of people.

@ElizabethBabe1994 Yes it is your fault. If the bus was scheduled to) leave at 8 then you should already have been there at 7:50 instead of just leaving the house. And your boss is right. Take an earlier bus.

Public transportation is so convenient sometimes and other times its utterly worthless.

@ElizabethBabe1994 I mean I guess he isn't wrong, but still doesn't make it any more of a pain in the ass to try and be at a bus stop at a certain time and then to have the bus come early.
