Sales tax at work

I rode the bus on the way to my internship yesterday. I admit, I was pretty nervous about riding it. All this talk about bus numbers and transfers and stops. It didn't make sense to me until I actually rode it. I was supposed to be at the stop at 8:55, but once it turned 8:56, I was about to leave when it pulled up. I rode it and was amazed at the concept of public transportation. I looked at all these people, and imagined all my folks in California riding the BART, the New Yorkers riding subways. Without public transportation, all these people's lives would be more inconvenient, if not impossible.
As a student, it's only a $1 to ride. One dollar! I'd be saving so much money by not driving. I'm gonna ride the bus everyday from hereon out.
