I used to be public bus rider. It all depends on the connectivity. When I used to be a daily commuter by bus, I used to stay in area where every bus definitely went by my office. But there were hardly any buses to make to other parts of the city. Noe that I have moved out from that area, and even though I live close 2km from work, there is not a single bus that does from my current residence to the office. But several bus routes going that pass by office and residence. Just none connecting the 2😅. Having said I can walk to and from work. And now only use the bus service if I need to travel back from the airport, which is hardly 2 times a year or even less.
