3:28 because of course they dont, MTA is public transit, and you pretty much nailed it. As long as youre operating no more than 150 AIR MILES from base, you can run up to 14 hours driving. Thats pretty much any public transit. That said its become abundantly clear that public transit, especially the support side and mechanics is right for me
