New York City Transit growing up and into adulthood. Lot's of subway trips. Went on to work in the subway '89-'91.
No.its pretty long and bends in the middle.Is that a short bus?
We have bus service
Have you ever used a bus, train, subway, for transportation?
Absolutely!
BART, our subway system, is perfect for going into San Francisco or even out to the two airports. Sweetie and I used it frequently for going into Berkeley to see a movie or to the theater or for dining out. From our station to downtown Berkeley cost us 65¢ using our senior passes. A trip to San Francisco, depending on exactly where the destination was, was about $2.25 vs, at the time, more than $5.00 ($7.00 now) for the bridge toll plus gas plus the hassle and expense of parking.
I agree but it completely depends on location. Commuter express buses in early morning are usually clean and friendly. Neighbourhood routes or middle of the day - pretty sketchy.I hate, with every fiber of my being, nearly all forms of mass transit. Put me on a bus, train or subway and watch me get ever more irritated. I generally like people, but good god there are some foul ones on mass transit. The lady with the bugs in her hair weave was making me vomit.
There are a few exceptions of course. First Class airline travel on a major carrier can be pleasing. And a high end ship with good weather, gobs of room, and plenty of time is also nice.
Ouch.Is that a short bus?
It also points out how inconvenient it is for the less fortunate due to it's schedule constraints. Imagine using it everyday for work, doctors appointments, grocery shopping etc.
