Would have had a nice afternoon out yesterday if I had a car. A lot of things went wrong and almost all of them had to do with public transit. They totally fucked up one of the bus routes by making it much shorter than it used to be, I had to carry a bunch of heavy stuff on stairs because Bart's escalators were busted (I have a tendency to trip) and one shuttle that i take all the time took forever to show up (it usually shows up really fast). Also I accidentally lost my damn transfer because I was carrying so much stuff, so i had to pay two bus fares. And one of my cupcakes got squished.

*hugs* I bet you are glad to be back home taking it easy. Though, on the plus side I have to say I am jealous of public transportation. We have zero here and if you want to ride the bus you have to drive like 15 miles to metro stop to even get on a bus. We have the metro rail downtown that only drives in a big circle down downtown that was added in order to try and win the Olympic bid.
It would make my life so much easier if I had public transportation. Then I wouldn't have to depend on other people to taxi be around everywhere.

you have an excellent point. i should quit bitching about that stuff.

You shouldn't. The rest of the US should just bitch so much more.

And I agree with that. Maybe they could provide everyone with decent public transportation. Then again when has anyone listened to what the people need?

I did used to live in a very small town with NO public transportation at all. plus most things were still too far away to walk to. that sucked big time.

No you shouldn't that's what ur journal is for

I usually complain about Italian public transport but what you have sucks big time (including the transfer system, with those ridiculous sherds of paper). Here in Germany the system works very well, and is expensive; in Italy it works a bit, well, Italy-like, but at least it's cheap.

And yet, what you have in the Bay Area is still so much better than the rest of the country.

Of course I'm mostly sad about the cupcake.

when you came out to visit me it was actually far better than usual. I've had some very bad experiences on Barts and buses, some of which were much worse than what I was talking about earlier.

I'd still eat it!
