Triumph of Public Transportation
This morning, due to a dead battery in my car and because a friend is picking me up after work to head away for the weekend, I took the bus to work. I was dazzled with my success. This is a feeling I get when traveling in a foreign country. I feel so good that I am able to negotiate the system. It's silly really.
$1.25 and about an hour worth of time takes me from My house to my school. There is even time at the transfer point in Ballston to get a coffee. Victory is mine!
Confidential to a certain friend who walks to work:
If you were to walk down to Shirlington and catch the bus at 28th and Quincy (I think that is where the Texaco station is,) and take the 10B that would take you, zip you if you will, up the hill and you could get off at Walter Reed and Columbia Pike. It looks like it goes every 30 minutes starting at 5:34 in the morning. It is about a 6 minute trip, 30 I suppose when you add the walk to Shirlington.
