You just did the software debugging equivalent of saying "it works for me" :)
That's a legitimate response when someone says "this doesn't work and could never possibly work".
I live in Devon in the middle of nowhere and the public transportation is excellent. I also don't drive, and I have no trouble getting where I need to be.
Ehh, no, "it works where I am and it could work where you are" isn't "works for me" - it's pointing out that areas with shitty public transport don't have to have shitty public transport, that's just the obvious result of bus deregulation and a lack of relevant subsidies on the part of local Government.
Lucky you. We lost one of our major bus providers in Cornwall a few years back and public transport has been shite ever since.
I literally cannot take public transport to and from work, it's that bad.
and even when there is public transport it does not work at night so it becomes a mess quickly if you enjoy going out.
