    The transporter basically requires it to be a clear sunny day with nothing unexpected in the way to function properly, and even in those conditions we see it malfunction quite a lot. TBH if I were in Starfleet I would invent a religion that eschews transporter use and take a shuttle everywhere because they seem safer.
