13 things I like about taking public transit

1. I don't have to worry about getting tired

2. don't have a car payment or insurance

3. I get to enjoy spending time with my family

4. Meeting new people, because a STRANGER is a FRIEND you never met

5. Seeing new things we would like to visit, like the clay and glass museum.

6. Teaching our children about timing and routing with maps and schedules

7. We enjoy visiting friends and family via our transits

8. We often have packed snacks and enjoyed healthy snacks on the bus

9. Just taking the bus around town only costs $34 a month for hubby and me each...

10. The kids have their own tickets and love to put the ticket in the box and get their transfer

11. The city is going to put a Rapid trans in and that will make it even more effective to get around from our connecting cities too ...

12. The drivers for the most part are helpful and friendly

13. The number one reason I like taking the Transit is sharing God's perfect and pleasing word for us!!!!!!!

P.A. Day fun

Today was so much fun, we took the bus to a friends place in the next city over.

The bus called the I Xpress which will one day be replaced by a Rapid trans (I hope). next post will be about the pro's to our city getting a train.

For today though we got up at a decent time and went to the chiro and then got some bagels for the kids they thouroughly loved picking them fresh from Rise N Shine ( they cook them daily ) you pay yourself on the honor system (their was a guy cooking but not paying too close attention to us!) I tasted from the kids picks but since i am trying to lose weight did not eat a whole one (thats equal to 4 slices of bread). Yikes !!!!

We took 5 buses when we counted in total. They were really good today lined up well, some days are frustrating if you don't meet your conection on time and that explains why so many rather drive. I sometimes wish I had a car but most of the time I am content with taking the bus.

We like having a snack on the bus and a nap too.

We are enjoying the bus to the market and the one that connects to the other cities for one price now too. The kids are even learning the stops and the names and numbers of the buses. I grew up on the public transportation and we had a car too... we knew all the subway lines and there stop names in grade school.

I want the kids to know how to get around, so they can get jobs and not be nervous on the transit as well as be street smart.
