    Perhaps public transit is there to help the public get around and you should be advocating for higher availability, not lower ridership

      My issue is that they could literally take the bus 30 minutes later and be alone on the bus. It’s just fascinating that they use them at a time of highest ocupancy.

        They may have an appointment early in the morning, a time slot that may be harder for a young person to fullfill. Maybe they have a scheudled event to be at, many of which start at the same time as business opening hours. Maybe they just want to get to the store when it opens, get their shopping done, and be able to enjoy the rest of the day at their own pace.

          Yep. There are a lot of people out there, each with their own lives and schedules. Work isn’t the only thing in life people have to deal with, and responsibilities don’t end when one retires.
