You know who rides buses? Kids!
OK - for those of you who grew up in cities with bus systems, this is not a huge revelation. But I've always lived in communities without bus systems at all or with a limited bus system. So kids + school transportation = big yellow school bus with hard green bench seats.
So it was an interesting revelation to realize that the times I ride the bus from big city to small town correspond with school hours and thus Kids on Bus.
Riding the bus in definately cheaper since the Zone 1 fees don't seem to be enforced. Rides (with the 10 ride tickets) are .40 each. The web says it's supposed to be a ticket + .50 and just a single fare is $1.50. But they don't seem to make us pay. So basically, I'm riding for .80 a day - which is a whole lot cheaper than gas for a 55 miles round trip.
Slower - buses are definately slower but I get to listen to my books on CD, doze a bit, chill out. I can make the time work for me.
A couple things I was right about: smelly people and well, that's about it. I did have a gentleman sit across from me that talked to the invisible person next to him but not scary/dangerous.

That's great that you can make the bus work out for you! It's better for your mother. Mother Nature that is. We should all use public transportation. Problem: there is none in my small town.
Public transport is great for the environment...if only it didn't take so long...
Best regards from NY!
