Currently, gasoline is up to $4.25 a gallon. Tucson and most of Arizona is very car dependent due to geography.
Our bus system runs every 30 minutes - weekdays and hourly on weekends. The system has a phone app. What if you don't have a phone, if your phone is out of charge, if you can't find the app?. The bus stops have posted route numbesr. There are no bus schedule or maps with routes. Inside of the bus, there is no posted information. As a result of this, bus drivers are continuely beleagered by a thousand questions.
Lyft/Uber: During the day, the cost, per mile, may be $1.78 per mile. Later, the cost can be $3.00+ per mile. Evening rides - $30 each way!
With better public transportation, then we would not be stuck in the giant maw which is the automotive/petrol complex.
