Your response: Public transportation service is not good. While the buses are clean and well maintained, and the city is buying electric buses; the schedules are terrible, and it can take hours to go anywhere by bus.

Getting to shopping areas and other services for anyone who cannot drive means begging a ride, long walks, long trips by bus, or paying for an Uber or Lift driver.
