Yesterday, I took more public transportation than I have ever taken in my entire life. I was on a trolly and cab through San Francisco. Then I took the subway and BART to the Oakland Airport, got on an airplane and then a car ride home....everything but a bus
I had to take the bus for two years (D.U.I + license suspension). Only poor people (yes, Mexicans), scumbags, crazies and ugly people ride the bus in L.A. so I never cared about meeting "interesting" people on there. Always had my headphones on so no one would bother me. The only good thing that came out of taking the bus was the amount of books I read during that time, lots of time to kill while waiting for the bus and riding. Also you can take naps.
I just drive. I dont think Ive ever ridden a public trans bus. Maybe once or twice from the airport or something. Ive ridden lots of Coach Buses but that's def. not the same LOL
