I would give it a "1-star" review but the caption under "2-star" is more like it, "Meh. I've experience better."
I have a love-hate relationship with PAT. The buses are unreliable timing wise and a majority of the drivers are jerks. From having to be 10 minutes early (I shouldn't have to play it safe!) to being prepared to wait for a couple buses since rush hour means over crowded buses ... PAT is like a powder keg. You just never know when its going to blow up on your commute.
I do ride the bus daily. And yes, it would take me the exact amount of time to drive in/out to work. So honestly ... I treat PAT like I treat Airplane travel. I get there when I get there ... as lone as I get there safely the on-time part is something I have learned to stop prioritizing as long as I'm riding a PAT bus. ((Seriously tho, there's something wrong about having to make that concession!!))
