Caille Millner writes a challenging article titled, "The real reason some won't take the bus."
She talks about distinctions between forms of public transportation in San Francisco, and why many rationalize away why they avoid the public buses.

I watch people's faces when they see me waiting at a bus stop. Many of them, especially drivers, look at me like I'm doing something vaguely unsavory - like I'm drinking out of a paper bag or flashing "designer" watches for sale....
Most people won't talk about the bus... because most people who live in San Francisco like to believe that they have progressive politics. It's quite difficult for them to admit the awful truth: They simply don't like to be in the same space as poor people.
If this is true for any of us Christians, what does this mean when we follow Jesus, who famously hung out with the poor and always advocated for them?
