  If you have enough time taking the bus long distances is very affordable.

    Time is money. I can’t pay rent for an apartment full of my stuff if I’m traveling and not working. I’ve had the privilege before and am saving for another time in the future but the fact I can save at all is because of a series of lucky breaks.

      if something goes wrong and I’m stranded what then? I know I’m not alone in this.

      seriously. i don’t want to have to go knock the door of [church what done me and mine wrong] and beg for help. i know i can find folk in it who would, but like i worked in homelessness services and there are areas of the country where if you don’t wear a cross and praise jesus you’re fucked.

    There are large areas of the US where simply taking a bus is impossible without also having to drive a long distance to the nearest station. There’s also the fact that it’s a pretty sizable country, so someone in SoCal or thereabouts is looking at a multi-day trip if they’re not flying, which then adds the cost of hotels, cabs to/from the hotel if the stop has no transit nearby, etc.
