I usually prefer to ride than to drive, so I was excited about the prospect of going to the doctor's office on the bus instead of getting a lift in a car. I went in mid-September, and I had to go to the bus stop (The nearest one was half-an-hour away by foot from my home, and I carried stuff with me that were better suited to a bus ride than to a hike.), This bus ride seemed to fat boy to include a pair of hikes in refried hell, No shade was at that first stop either, just sun-heated metal.The wait passed quickly, and the driver-- a lady of the fullness of years- was sweet-tempered, found out where your stop was and reminded you when it came up. The bus was not full-sized and it was cool and clean. Those riders who were not shy were friendly, and appeared to be guileless. There was shade at the stop near the medical center, and although one still had to walk a couple of blocks, this was better because the trees shaded practically the whole walk. The drivers got confused when I got to the main transit area, at first thinking that I had to get off my South bus to get back to where I started, but we got that straightened out. I liked it. Two dollars for the round trip seemed like a good deal. I do recommend that one end of your trip either be in the cool of the morning or in the cool of the evening during the summer. read more
