    When you have been living in Mexico after so much time, you learn to hate public transportation (Specially if you are driving next to them)

    That's true in Colorado. It makes me rage and urinate everywhere.

    I do not like public transportation. I have ridden a public transport bus once and it broke down in the middle of a shady neighborhood in San Diego. They had no idea what was wrong with it.

    My only other experience with public transportation is riding the Amtrek from Seattle to San Diego. It broke down four or five times on the way there.

    I can't drive, so I like public transportation. And it's a lot cheaper and more reliable here in Bellingham than it was in San Bernardino.

    Yeah, that's true in some places.

    But that's not as annoying than when two drivers, in opposing directions, stop to talk about anything that actually could be said anywhere else, specially if they can do it on a highly-transited street.

    It's more common if they are bus drivers.

    I would not say I get any special enjoyment out of riding the bus to campus, but with the exception of crowded days I don't mind it. It's free and fairly convenient. Mostly it's free.

    When I was a kid I loved the subway system at the airport. If I move to a big city, I will probably ride the subway a lot.

    Bus rides are fun, unless they are super cramped. Trains aren't so fun, because I hate the screeching and swaying. It just scares me

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I'm not a fan of th peasant wagon (bus), but I love taking trains, they are much more relaxing.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    The buses are fantastic in Edinburgh. Voted best bus company in Scotland 2006 and then the best in the UK 2007.

    I take the train to work everyday. I work in the heart of Chicago so parking is crap. If I could afford to, I would probably drive everywhere. You get where you are going faster and can actually get to where you want instead of blocks and blocks away :P
