Public transportation is unreliable and coverage is spotty. Every morning I took the 26 or 28 to get from 7th (1 block from the hotel) to 34st and Fremont. Whatever time was on the schedule didn't matter it seems as every buses made its way at random times. It seems I never was able to wait less than 15mn for a bus...
They also have a surcharge during rush hour... It's small but why? Isn't it better to have more people taking public transportation?
In addition, the bus lines "transform" into other bus lines which can be confusing especially if bus drivers don't call it out.
On the plus side, the downtown area is in a free zone and the clientele is diversified which makes for a nicer experience.
In comparison, San Francisco buses smell like piss with many passengers who haven't showered for weeks. No one that can scrape enough money for a car would be caught dead in a bus in Silicon Valley.
We are very far from Munich and London where "regular" people take the bus...

Oh London, one of the best public transports I've used.
