“It’s a weekend in Pittsburgh and lots of people here and elsewhere around the country are waiting for a money-losing service called government transit. The system here, the same as many others throughout the nation, has two speeds—slow and slower. People search on their cellphones for when the buses are coming. Yet the system’s updates are often misleading. Buses never seem to come in the predicted time. Sometimes a promised bus—say one supposedly coming in ten minutes or less—will disappear from your cellphone. … I am not criticizing Pittsburg’s polite bus drivers who seem to suffer under the same problems as the riders: Their interaction with the incompetence of government reminds me of other government enterprises in other cities.” (12/04/25)
