Biking helps but still is very dangerous with little to no biking infrastructure (Just a painted line that varies from generous amounts of space to literally no space at all forcing you in the road) where drivers just love driving 60+mph in a 45 zone lol.
and the inconsistency of the bus being on time makes the risk just not worth it most of the time so I just end up driving everywhere and feeling bad about it haha
better to have a bun and not need it than need a bun and not have one!
