   A thing that I hate is when the transit app has listings for the "east" and "west" routes on the current road but the road very definitely runs north-south

     @mcc The Berkeley-Emeryville corridor in the SF Bay Area is one of the most cursed traffic stretches in the world, and I'm convinced it's because the actual road goes North-South, but you have two freeways, 580 and 80, that say they are East-West routes *in the opposite direction* of each other. So if you are traveling North, you do so on 580 West and 80 East. Cursed.

     GOOGLE MAPS: So, first get on the Subway.

     ME: Okay, what direction?

     GOOGLE MAPS: What?

     ME: …what?

     * I guess a direction, it's ultimately correct. *

     GOOGLE MAPS: Okay, now transfer to the bus.

     ME: What direction?

     GOOGLE MAPS: What?

     Public transit *sounds* like a good idea until you actually go to a bus stop and wait for a bus and eventually realize the bus doesn't exist, bus schedules and transit app directions are pretty myths for children, bus systems don't exist, in fact "Montreal" doesn't exist, "Montreal" is just a social construction, in cold hard reality society is an illusion and people act arbitrarily according to their own motivations and none of those motivations involve driving a bus in a direction I am going

     I think if you're the only person on the bus you should just be allowed to ask the bus driver to go directly to your destination for you. Or at least like. Run through the McDonald's drive through for you or something.

     Subways are ultimately the only viable form of public transit because trapping a bus on a set of rails is the only way to prevent it from realizing the futility of its actions, abandoning its route and joining an anarchoprimitivist commune in the country
