      Matters for public transport tbh

      Which didn’t operate on that strict a time schedule (if at all) in the time period OP is asking about.

      Hey, if you live in a place where the public transport actually shows up when it’s supposed to that’s nice for you, I guess, but where I’m from pretending that the public transport is accurate down to the minute is also a lie.
