5. Hourly or more often.

I occasionally take the local bus into downtown Santa Fe. It only runs twice an hour, which really isn't often enough. It needs to be three times an hour, possibly even four.

I am a huge fan of public transportation. In 1969, when I went to work at DCA, Washington National Airport, I didn't have a car. I lived in Alexandria, VA, about two miles from the airport and took the bus into work every day. For seven years. The only reason I eventually bought a car was that I decided to start taking classes at the local community college, and the logistics of getting to campus and back home and then to the airport wasn't very good. So I bought a car. Even then, I frequently took the bus into the airport because it really was easier than driving.

I look forward to living somewhere that public transportation is good and convenient, and I won't need a car any more. Of course these days, there's always Uber of Lyft. But the essential thing is to not have the worry and hassle of a car.
