Bus stops here: Shanghai lets riders design their own routes

Chiming in from Los Angeles, USA to say wow, must be nice living in a modern society that prioritizes public transit and peoples' ease of movement. I know, I know, it comes with trade offs of living in an authoritarian state, but the absolute abysmal state of infrastructure in this country is maddening. Ever been on a train in Denmark or Japan or Switzerland?

I once rode the bus across LA. Years and dozens of countries later, it is still probably the single worst public transit experience I've ever had.

It wasn't because of the bus itself, or the routes, or anything like that. But because the willingness of people to tolerate one passenger screaming, threatening others, refusing to move for a handicapped woman, etc.

American public transit is a cultural problem, not an infrastructure one.
