In my town there's barely any, and the buses only get to whatever spot every 55 minutes, but mostly it's later than that.

Next Time one gets mad at you for not giving them your money, throw change at them muah ha ha ha

...The change she doesn't have?

Yeah, they get pretty aggressive. I had one coming after me, cursing and all.

She said she doesn't have money TO GIVE THEM. Not simply money at all.

94-don't throw change when walking by. Only when driving. That way they aren't angry for not getting money from you, keeps their attention on the ground and off you (out of harms way), and you aren't out much money.

Sorry, stand corrected - the change she doesn't have TO GIVE? :P

Hey don't tell them about my secret places! :(

You tell an adult if anyone touches your secret places ok?

Not everywhere offers a bus. I lived in a area where the was NO bus what so ever. When my parents cars broke down they had to ask and plead with people to take them to the store to get food and go to work. The nearest store was five miles awayand that was a suburb area not a rural farming area. Not every one has the luxury of public transit.

I'm sorry... people would rather beg for rides than walk or bike? My grandparents walk into town every day, it's over 5 miles, and they walk back with groceries, seeds, car parts. They've been doing that for decades. People are getting way too lazy ._.

Walking 5 miles is no big deal. But his interview could have been 50 miles away. I don't think anyone here could even walk 100 miles (back and forth) or hell, even half of that. People need to get off of their high freaking horses. You are not better than this man just because you are LUCKY enough to have a job in these difficult times. The arrogance of people here is unfathomable.

If he is living somewhere large enough to have a freeway system, chances are good that there is some sort of public transportation system.

Not always. There was a entrance to a freeway not to far away from my neighborhood and we still didn't have a bus system. I guess five miles isn't bad but it is on dangerous roads. Guess it all depends on where you live and what kind of drivers you have.

Okay I went to college in a small town that only had a Greyhound bus station so I know what you mean. But it was a small town. Literally everybody knew eachother. If OP is in that same situation he would've been better off just asking a friend for a ride. Unless he got the call for the interview 2 hours before he was supposed to be there I'm sure he had plenty if time to call nearby friends and ask for a lift or some gas money. And again, he looks like an idiot for complaining about the police enforcing the law. It's their job!

I live on property 15kms down the freeway from a small country town of maybe 1000-2000 people, which is also situated in the freeway. The only public transport that town offers besides school buses, those same buses chartered in advance for groups in school holidays or interstate buses picking up tour passengers only, is an expensive as **** 12-seat minivan taxi. Don't expect that a freeway brings a big city and public transport

I thought the exact same thing. Unless they are posting from a public library. That's where all of the homeless people around here go.

Yes, because people can get whatever they want at any time and place. Maybe they had no one that could take them to the interview.

There is usually public transportation or even walking. If you make arrangements far enough in advance, you can usually work something out. It's obviously easier for OP to beg off strangers rather than friends or family. I wonder if he even asked his dad. How far away were these places, OP? A few dollars can get most cars around 20 miles with careful driving.
