Expression: "Suffer the jerks of buses"

[Tom]

Hello everybody

Please see below:

Since she did not want to suffer the jerks of buses, she took a (comfortable)taxi.

Do you find this expression correct and appropriate? Are there better substitutes?

Hey Amy

I am pretty sure you did not like the question. :shock:

Well, how right I am?

Well, Tom, I can understand someone not wanting to suffer jerks, but what exactly do you want to describe in the sentence? Just a generally bumpy ride on a bus? Lots of lurching stops before reaching the destination? (Obviously the woman in the sentence is not thinking about the delights of a NY cab, otherwise she'd have probably stuck with the bus.8))

Is that your own sentence? Or did you read it somewhere?
