The wheels on the bus

(#35) Public transportation is great. Obviously this would not be my first choice when traveling, but in a week where I have been stranded multiple times it has been a blessing. Thanks to the bus I was able to get to work, the store, the locksmiths, and anywhere else I needed to go while my vehicle was M.I.A. For $2.25 the world was at my feet, as long as that world could be found on the 850 route.

One thing I love about the bus is that the heaters are always blasting at full capacity. This is very important since you are usually numb by the time you step on the bus. Another thing that I have noticed is that all the bus drivers, at least the ones I have encountered, are very friendly. They can chat it up with anyone who steps onto their bus. Whether you feel like talking or not, they continue to carry on a conversation.

I am very thankful for buses. And while I would never go out of my way to spend some quality time on the bus, I am very grateful it is available when I am stranded.
