it’s entirely possible that this person’s route to work is far too dangerous to walk, let alone cycle.

It's funny, because I cut ten minutes off my thirty minute commute via the HOV lane by carpooling, and I see plenty of Metro buses on the same route.

I would still bus on principle because I'm a masochist and stubborn. But I get it when people don't if the infrastructure isn't good.
