My last apartment was walking/biking distance from an OCTA park and ride, with work being located next to an OCTA maintenance facility. My 30 minute driving commute would have taken 2 hours by bus each way.

Currently I live around the corner from OCTA corporate headquarters, working in the same location. Taking the bus would mean 90 minutes instead of 20 driving.

I can't sacrifice 30% of my waking life to my commute.

For shorter trips around home it might be more feasible, but those usually occur on weekends when I'd prefer not to have a bus-enforced curfew dictating my night.

I don't deny that the bus can be a good option, but there are still way too many caveats (gotta be near a main intersection, it's gotta be between certain hours, etc) to be really useful to anyone who's off a main route. I have hope that it will get better, but it's not there yet.
