No digital tickets when I was doing it (5 years ago). It’s a major metro, but the government here doesn’t take it seriously; they treat it as poor transport.
Can’t bike through the center of the city safely, no bike lanes. Many streets north and south of the city don’t even have shoulders.
40km each way, average summer temps in the 30’s
To bike, I’d need to move closer to work, I’d still sweat my ass off and show up stinky. Also, I can’t be sure I’d get employment near there if anything happened. Needing to sell my house everytime I change jobs seems like a rough time.
We’re just not architected for it. Busses take even longer and are more unpredictable.
