I went on two busses today, resulting in reaching the Smart Fare maximum. This means that additional bus trips don't cost money for the remainder of the day.

        Man, that’s entirely too good. I spend easy twice as much in gasoline and I only work 7km away from my job, fucking hate the lack of public transportation here.

            Live in the mountains and with no bicycle infraestructure, would have to cross about 4 major roads with super heavy traffic.

                I live at over 700 meters of elevation and within 10 minutes I can be at sea level (depends on the driver lmao). Mountains make both public transport and human powered transportation nearly impossible.

              Cheap motorcycle is perfect for that (except for winter in places that have it).

                I’ll pick one up, nobody uses motorcycles here and I would need some sort of solution for when I need to pick up my kids, but yeah just for me it’s a great solution.

      I love how people in UK are so brainwashed that think 6quid is fair. 6 quid is not fair. 2 maybe 3 quids should be maximum and that is for London. Edinburgh should just be free.

    where i live, the transit system is the same. after spending $5.60 a day (2 fare payments), you earn a day pass. after $100 you earn a month pass valid for the rest of the month

    Merriam Webster:

    Buses is the preferred and standard plural for the vehicles, while busses is considered rare or incorrect.

    Although busses was sometimes used before the 1960s, buses is now the widely accepted spelling in both American and British English.

    Preferred: Buses (vehicles)

    Alternative: Busses (rare, sometimes mistaken for the verb “buss,” meaning to kiss)

    I once had the same with an electric scooter sharing service, I mean the big Vespa-style scooters. I rode around Budapest for a whole evening afterwards, went across the Chain Bridge in formation with a super nice German bike club on choppers.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn’t an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

  • what is this thing?
  • No Stupid Questions
  • Ask Lemmy
  • Self Hosted
  • Mildly Interesting

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
