the local transit (bus/skytrain) can be a crapshoot. Sometimes the 2 buses fill up and people get left behind. Though I guess I could rush through the throngs of walk on passengers to the Compass machines, I stroll leisurely... and have been left behind at least 2 times, waiting an hour for the next bus. Only once did they send an overflow bus (for a handicapped passenger). I go solo, so I give myself plenty of time. I can't imagine taking a family onto the city bus at Swartz Bay
