    Train tickets by me cost 4x an hour of minimum wage work. Even if a single person helped per hour, that’s more than enough to make it worthwhile compared to a paying job. That’s a scam, taking advantage of people’s help as a regular living rather than making an honest living.

      Train tickets near me have a variable cost depending on how far you’re going, but the bus costs about 1/4 or 1/5 of minimum wage per hour…lol

      That’s a much more costly train ticket than I was imagining.

      I was assuming something like the inverse of that: a quarter of an hour of minimum wage.

      That does tip the scale back to scammy.
