It is your responsibility to get to work however you choose to get there and I think its unfair if employers are rejecting people just because they use public transport, just because they use a bus doesn't mean they will be late everyday.
It's weird how some wouldn't fancy hiring people who live not far away but have to use public transport but are fine with some who live miles away that can drive a car.
