Same in Plano, TX. I worked about half an hour away from home at one point, without traffic, and I tried to find a bus route that would take me there, but it would take two hours of transferring from one bus line to another to another and riding in circles, plus a thirty minute walk to the nearest bus station, to get me there. It was like no one even gave convenience a thought. ((And my work was on a major street, so it shouldn't have taken that long.)) Not only would it have been inconvenient, it would've cost a fortune.
Luckily, however, Plano is very bike friendly, even if the drivers are not.
