09/20/2003 Archived Entry: "transportation"

After checking the bus routes and schedules on-line the last couple of days, I determined that it would be in our best interest to start getting used to them. Our car is not doing well (what else is new?) and we're just not sinking anymore money into it. It's just not worth it. So we are facing the very real possibility of not having a car in the very near future. At that point, we will really get used to public transportation which is just such a foreign concept here in SoCal. Anyway, two busses pick us up very near our house and take us to a shopping area that our city shuttle doesn't go to. So, Chris dropped Tabitha and I off at the mall on his way to work and she and I walked around the mall a bit and went to the Transit store and got a bus pass. It's like a pre-paid card so I just put $10 on it and we'll see how long that lasts. We were pleased with how clean and air-conditioned the bus was on the way home. Those are two issues I've always had with taking public transportation- cleanliness and air comfort level. So, we have more options of where to go now without a car, I'd still like a car though :)
