When I was forced to start taking the bus I was feeling sorry for myself - thought I'd hit an all time low. Now that I've been a customer for several months I am actually enjoying it. The low fees sure beat paying high gas prices, and most of the bus drivers are really helpful and polite. Sometimes you get free floor shows when people act like human beings!
I don't like riding home too late at night, but they will actually stop closer to your place if you ask them to. And for those who aren't very mobile, they have all kinds of contraptions to let you on and off carefully and safely. I wish I'd known that after my car accident.
Remember, riding the bus is like being on a boat, keep one hand on the vehicle at all times!
