In Canada? I'm speking from my brief time in ontario - they have busses but public transport lines aren't all nicely interconnected.

also, swed nyet

okay hold on, do other countries not have buses that aren't operated as public transport? do hockey teams in canada take a whole fleet of cars to matches or do they just fly for half an hour?

here in sweden at least it's completely standard to just buy or rent a bus when you have like 8+ people who need to go somewhere.

they're operated as public transport, it's just that lines aren't well connected.

it's nowhere near as viable to rely on public transport in north america as it is in europe.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

but i'm specifically not talking about public transport, i'm talking about a company renting a bus for shuttling its employees.

[–] vikingtons@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

that would require the company to care about its employees. you're talking about north america here bubs
