    Not all cities are equal. Many have large areas with no public transportation available.

      I get suggested to drive for 11 minutes and ALSO take a lyft if I wanted to use public transportation to get to work.

              I’m so confused about what’s wrong, the bus stop doesn’t suddenly get closer if I leave at 9am monday…?

                Doesn’t seem to apply to your specific case but usually there’s a big difference between middle of the night vs. during the day. Even though I live in a city with a good public transit infrastructure, if I try to get to my workplace at three in the Morning on a Sunday I will still have a bad time:

                vs.

                That’s why your first screenshot didn’t really prove much.

                  Ah, that understandable. My main point is that where your screenshot has you walking 6-15 minutes in between transport, the only “options” given to me were to drive 12 minutes to the bus stop and then drive 7 minutes to my actual workplace. I wasn’t so much focusing on the time, just that my large city doesn’t have comprehensive public transportation.
