Today marks exactly ONE MONTH since I last drove a car.
I no longer have a car and so I have learned how to get around via public transportation. To be quite honest, it hasn't been too bad.
Google Maps has become my new best friend and has allowed me to figure out exactly how to get where I need to go.
During this past month I have discovered that I prefer the train over the buses. Trains are better for me because I don't have to worry about missing my stop, and...they run on a fairly regular schedule.
With the bus, I can easily miss my stop if I don't know where I'm going, and they don't always come when the schedule says they do. Depending on how close I am to my destination, I sometimes just walk the rest of the way if I've waited to long for the next bus.
The only real downfall to riding public transportation has been riding at night (which I don't like at all), and not being able to get to some of the places that are further out. I have a friend who just moved to the outskirts of town and public transportation simply doesn't go there. That's a really bummer. Other than that though...it's all good.
How 'bout you?
Let the DIALOGUE begin: When was the last time you rode the bus or train?
Talk to me!
Til next time...
