Don't forget Susan, whose base wages are so low that she has to work overtime to make ends meet. But the bus doesn't run that late, so 2/3 of her overtime goes to an uber, whose driver also can't feed her children.

Well Susan sounds rather dumb if she is using an Uber as a daily form of transportation where 2/3rd of her money is going to. She should consider getting a car.

Paycheque to paycheque can't buy you a car, but it can guy you multiple cabs.

It's expensive to be poor.

Susan should've been born on a civilized country, as those run buses around the clock
