Angela and William, I didn't mean to offend anyone and I sincerely apologize if I have done so. Like most other people, I have had good experiences as well as bad on RT buses. But Angela painted such a rosy picture, I felt like I had to present a different view. Again no offense intended. But after my experiences, I cannot envision a situation in which I would choose to ride the RT bus instead of drive. Light Rail otoh is ok... well except between the hours of 11 am and 3pm and after 8pm :)

It's easy to say stuff like this when you have options. Yes, Regional Transit works well during the work week at working business hours. Especially commuting to and/or from the more dense parts of town. But for those that have no choice (and do not live in the midtown/downtown area!) it is not that easy. Try waiting for the 82 at CSUS on a Saturday evening in the middle of February. I did this shit for years and it is not as fun as you are misleading others to believe. A journey that would have taken 10 mins tops in a car can take more than an hour. From waiting for a late bus in the rain with it's limited weekend schedule, to waiting for the connecting bus and the final trudge home through cold, wet, muddy, dimly-lit streets. All alongside cars that constantly splash you just for kicks. And if that first bus is late, you gotta wait almost an hour for your connecting bus. I have not ridden an RT bus in years and I do not miss it.
