Aww, I love the bus:) I also worried about embarrassing myself, and I did, but I learned fast. I work at a major university which provides me with a bus pass as one of the perks and as part of them trying to discourage people from driving to work. There is VERY limited parking here, so it is super expensive to buy a pass and totally free to ride the bus. Best part? My free bus pass is not just to work and back but ALL THE TIME. I go days without getting in my car. Love it!
That said, oh man is Portland’s public transit better than Austin’s! But we’re working on it, and it’s pretty good considering our infrastructure. Being in Texas, I would love to see more small town-to-small town busses. We’re so spread out that you really need a car if you have relatives all over like I do.
