I love Public Transportation |
|
I am so happy that I have a few extra bucks in my pocket.
I am so happy that I'm alleviating traffic in the morning (and afternoon) by taking the bus each day. I even got a friend to take the bus, too. We love it together!!!
I am so happy that I get to come to work without stress. I am less tired at work (I can sleep on the bus yeah!!). I feel a little more productive. Oh yeah and I'm getting a little exercise, too. We walk about 3 blocks to and from the bus station to work. Every little bit counts.
THe bus last night was packed. Ridership on Palm Tran is up 30% over last year. And I won't give it up even if gas prices do fall. I'm loving the extra time I have for myself. The extra friends I'm meeting (nice people). The extra money I'm making. It's all good in my book.
So screw you Repukes. Screw you pRick Scott. Public Transportation works if you give it a chance. It's one of the best things that's happened to me.

2. Republicans are worried they might have to sit next to "those people" |

In their world, Rosa Parks ruined things for everybody.

Then they added this I95 Express route from my area to West Palm Beach. It really has been a Godsend!!

7. Where I live the buses are rarly on time at stops and its even worse for the disbled services |
|
they will get you to appointments on time just getting picked up a person can wait 5 minutes one day and 3 hours the next. Also businesses won't hire you in this area if you don't own a vehicle because the bus service is so bad.

In my town, the bus comes about once an hour however it is never full so it is justified.

I'm so thrilled that we don't have a car and the headaches that come with it.

It's my chance to read and unwind before heading home and "working".
