like literally the last few weeks my bus stop coming home has been impossible to access. The bus has to stop in the middle of an intersection where you can actually step down onto the road. And then I can't cross the street safely bc the button you have to press as a pedestrian is behind feet of ice

the last few weeks has reminded me how much of a car centric society we are like even in a city that has GOOD public transit they can't even clear the bus stops enough so that it's safe for people using the damn buses. Oh surely you can get to work there's no snow on the street well fuck you
