Really good advice, and it feels doable. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing. Public transit stories are secretly sociology stories.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. A little friction removed goes a long way. Public transit stories are secretly sociology stories.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. It sounds small, but the playlist matters.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. This pairs weirdly well with shakshuka. This makes me want to look at a map for an hour.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the library. History gets easier to understand when you can place it on a street.

Great point, especially the part about commute. The 6-minute rule is underrated.

That last line is excellent. The 5-minute rule is underrated.

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out. I noticed the same thing in Jakarta.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about commute. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.
