No toilets on commuter buses either and people ride them 45minutes to 1+ hours everyday with no issues.
You're stuck in the "long trip" "it's like a train" framework.
It is neither.
- tptacek 13y agoCommuter buses stop regularly.
- jcampbell1 13y agoThe commuter busses in NYC don't have bathrooms. For instance the X1 bus goes 45 minutes non-stop: Schedule: http://www.mta.info/nyct/bus/schedule/xpress/x001cur.pdf http://www.mta.info/nyct/bus/schedule/xpress/x001cur.pdf
- fryguy 13y agoI visited my friend in New York, and he took the express from Staten Island to Manhattan, and it was ~45 minutes without any stops (from the last Staten Island one to the first Manhattan one)
- typon 13y agoTaxi rides, flights, buses all have 30 min rides FREQUENTLY and no washroom facilities in those 30 min.
- delsarto 13y agoThe distance is just about what I commuted on a bus for many, many years, also with no facilities. In peak hour it would probably be fine, when everyone is fairly sensible and not drunk. But after hours, I've had quite a few uncomfortable bus rides due to the various anti-social behaviours of fellow passengers. That was with the hand-brake of a driver who obviously isn't getting involved, but can avoid escalating behaviour by stopping the bus or calling authorities. I have great faith in the technology! I just wish I had as much faith in the people riding inside it :)
