      buses are technically very proprietary like cars, and rented to you by a sort of subscription. and service works on their terms (usually badly)

      unless you live in one of the few places with free bus fares and good service.

      You must live in Europe. I’d rather walk the 3 miles from my house to the gym than wait for our bus in the US.

          Brother. Take a deep breath. Lmao. You’re coming in hot with all these assumptions without knowing me. First assertion is that I am actually originally an American. I’m a fucking immigrant whose country had very little cars, and we didn’t even have such thing as public transportation. We just walked. Near me here in the US, the nearest bus stop is about a mile away. And the bus comes there literally once every couple of hours. So, going to the gym would take me at least 3 hours or more including my gym time.

          I don’t assume people are poor or ghetto or whatever shit you assumed I do without knowing me. Jeez. It would be the kettle calling the pot black, my dude. It would be stupid. I’ve been working out my whole life and I don’t need any lessons from you, thank you. I’ve never been fat in my life and will never be (I don’t go to the gym to be skinny. I can do that without gym). I just don’t want to waste 3 hours for something I can do in 5 minutes. I have this thing called life and family, ya know? My car is old and paid off, too. It ain’t no damn luxury either. Worked my ass off to pay it off. Don’t assume things about strangers you don’t know.
