The Joys of Public Transportation, or Why Pre-Planning is So Important
Public transportation is great. Particularly when parking is going to be difficult to find or will be expensive, or if traffic is supposed to be a bear, it’s nice to let someone else do the navigating. I much prefer gazing out of a window at the world going by than feeling the tension of sitting in traffic going nowhere. I appreciate saving fuel and wear and tear on the car. And I love the lower carbon footprint.
