Public transportation is a source of stress for many. However, for people who don't own a car, a licence, or have other extraneous circumstances, there isn't a choice but to use it.
I attended a few workshops last year run focused around public transportation in Wellington and got to hear a range of opinions on the current system from people who use it on a daily basis. I personally don't use buses as often, as I live within walking distance of the CBD and university, but I have no other options if I want to go any further.
Key frustrations from other workshop attendees:
- buses not being on time
- having no way of knowing if a bus is late/has already past/is cancelled
- overcrowding at bus stops and on board
- high costs (especially if buses are required regularly)
- confusion about routes (from people who don't use buses as often)
