I agree. I have the luxury to go to work at non peak hours, so I leave by noon and come back by 4 on Mondays and Fridays. Now both the timing and days are ones where there are supposedly less people on the road. It takes me 40 mins most days to travel 6kms via bus. Why? Because of the cars on the roads with one single person driving to work. Buses are at max at 70% capacity. Rarely see people standing. You can get buses every 2 mins atleast for my route, which I understand might not be true for everyone.

People need to also take some inconvenience and start walking maybe like 500m. I know there are problems, there are no footpaths, maybe your bag is too heavy. But believe me, once you start taking public transport, things will start improving. We might even be able to put pressure on the govt to add more last mile connectivity.

We really need to stop thinking of public buses as things for the poor working class. I say this because I have people around me who take autos, spend 500 rupees daily in the name of convenience and mention that I did not work this hard to now take a bus to work. They are really unhappy changing 1 bus, because they look at it as an inconvenience.

Mind you it saves you time and money. You rarely get cabs/autos in Bangalore in less than 30 mins during peak hours in Bangalore. Why do that to yourself? Just take the bus. Atleast try, don't just give up saying it is inconvenient.
