I love riding the bus.

jcfialaI've been riding the bus for a few months now, and I love it! Let's count the reasons why...
1) I don't have to drive all day. Someone else drives, and I can relax, read a book, watch a video, or just stare out at the mountains as I go past them.
2) I don't have to pay for friggin' gas at $3.00/gallon.
3) The buses are nice touring buses - I take the regional from Denver to Boulder and back - and so they've got lots of comfy seats, and there's often extra room to spread out in.
4) Flexibility. Yesterday I rode with my wife to my bus stop, where she dropped me off, and then at the end of the day she picked me up and brought me home. Today I've got a study group, so I drove part-way along my busroute to where my group meets, hopped on the bus there, and at the end of the day the bus will drop me off where I need to be.
5) As a side effect, I'm not affecting the environment as much as when I drive to boulder - the bus is going there anyway.
6) Did I mention I get to read to and from work, instead of having to deal with traffic? Yay!
7) And I'd still love the bus if they didn't, but the company I work for pays for my bus tickets, so I'm even saving a lot of money.
Yay bus system!
