    Hey, if you live in a place where the public transport actually shows up when it’s supposed to that’s nice for you, I guess, but where I’m from pretending that the public transport is accurate down to the minute is also a lie.

      I do, if it’s early it just waits. Although tbh usually it’s 1-2 minutes late which isn’t a big deal
