And still LA County has the second highest bus ridership service in the US. The people quoted were ok with bus service until their commute times or lack of reliability increased due to:
1) Increased housing cost forcing them to move to a new area where the service isn't as good in getting them to/from their job
2) Change in job where the service isn't as good in getting them to/from their home.
3) Cuts in services forced by poor decisions made by transit
Things that are all possible in any city but made much less painful by car because its better speed and flexibility.
