Why can't the employees take public transit? No parking needed.

Because most transit in the region doesn't go past midnight or before 6 am, and therefore is utterly useless for staff, especially when they are needed the most -- game night or event night and Sundays. Not to mention if you want a 17 year old female riding the busses at night assuming they're on a main route with the idiots that go on the busses late at night. We'll skip the whole transit is time consuming in this region, as it is. My mother wanted to get to her doctors office and avoid asking me (since I was working) and to make a successful trip, she needed to have about 5 hours of time for the full trip (there and back). At 79, she can't do that.

Transit is a good option if you live on a main route, work on a main route, and your working hours are during peek transit hours. It's also good when you have a lot of spare time on your hands and don't have a lot of responsibilities. It's good if this is your only option due to medical reasons (such as being blind) or legal reasons (such as a DUI).

When I looked at my own situation, and my hours of work, transit is unavailable to me 14 working days out of 20. This is because I start work a 6am 7 out of 20 days, I finish work at midnight (or 11) 7 days out of 20. Those 14 days also include 2 Sundays which has zero service for where I live.
