Metro Transit
Nothing gives me more joy that flying past the poor bus kids, going where I want, whenever I want to, and always pulling up at my house evert damn time.
And I drive a nice, fuel efficient, five speed, car. In my view anyone who owns an SUV, and doesn't have any kind out outdoor or active lifestyle that would support that kind of vehicle, ia a jackass.

Having a car gives you a measure of independence that bus kids will never know.
That's the way you see it.
I find walking gives me a measure of sanity that car drivers and bus takers will never know.
No frustrating bus schedules. I save hundreds of dollars on insurance and gas. No having a heart attack when gas prices go up. Knowing I'm not polluting at all. Staying fit by exercising every day. Walking + mp3 player = energizing. It's relaxing and lets me blow off steam at the end of the day. Sure. there are some downfalls, but for me, the good outweigh the bad.
Of course, this is only the way I see it.

Sure there are rainfalls. Sorry I couldn't resist. 🙂
And walking in the rain is super fun.
And you wacky self propelled transit types are still getting a better deal that the bus kids. You're still on your own schedule, and with all the stops and loops and transfers and junk. The cyclist just might get home before the bus.
