Most public transit in Europe is government backed, they’re not just going bankrupt or lose their insurence, and I don’t know why I’d tinker with a broken bus, the company has people for that.
Exactly. Also, public transport is a system. Even if the vehicle you are currently traveling in breaks down, there’s usually replacements and alternatives to get to the same destination.

@wintermute @MBech I had a bus break down here while I was riding it.
(OK, it was a bit more dramatic. It caught fire.)
The replacement bus was there in under two minutes. It’s almost like people design systems with fallbacks and failsafes.
Almost.
