Yeah, you get fired for having an unreliable car too. I lost a job once because my beater broke down after work Friday, and I couldn’t get another one by my shift on Saturday. You can’t even register a car over the weekend, because the government doesn’t work weekends.
It doesn’t help that the last bus home leaves the station at 6pm, but low-income jobs require flexible scheduling so you can do clopening shifts. I’ve been advocating for bus expansion for the past fifteen years, and keep running into the neolib bullshit about how urban areas “deserve” transit because they’ve got money and I don’t.
I would bike to work, but there’s not even shoulders on the two-lane highway that connects the rural area to the urban area.
