I hate buses and rapid transit. It isn’t rapid. It clogs roads and requires higher taxes to subsidize it. You are at the mercy of someone else. You cannot carry much. It is dangerous. Many issues.
I wonder if my attitude toward buses will change when I cannot drive any more. When I have lots of time and no other way to get where I want to go, will I see things diffrently?
Should I start practicing taking buses so I will be ready when the time comes?
Scary thoughts.

Without the bus system in my area, I would be reduced to relying on relatives or neighbors to take me where I need to go. Given that choice in order to stay as independent as possible, I take the bus, even though it is not my favorite thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI am also worried about the young thugs that ride the bus. That could just be one of those stereotypes though. It sounds like it works for you. Maybe it will work for me some day.

There is no bus service in the country. I guess that means when I get old, I'll have to move to town. That's an even scarier thought to a country boy like me!
ReplyDeleteSince I live in town I can understand "scarier." Maybe you could start your own rest home on a hill. If we are blessed, maybe we will just die in our sleep before it is necessary.
