    I drive bus for our local system here in Utah. I enjoy it. We have a fare free system which makes us one of only 2 in Utah. Its a great asset for our area. Whenever i travel i always try to take local transit to see what is different with where i work. I recommend it.

    Jon, isn’t that what they mean by the term “busman’s holiday?” I wish more public transportation would go fare free, but I know that in this day and age, that’s practically impossible.

    My hat’s off to you! Yours is a challenging job, it seems to me–you have to stand your ground (or sit your seat) no matter what comes at you. I’ve known some true heroes in your profession.

    Big-city girl myself, originally.

    Many, many people over the years have expressed horror that I took public transport. They demanded the “freedom” of a car, and how could I possibly live without one?

    Seriously? I literally never owned a car until I moved to Alaska. Once upon a younger time in the big city, I worked 12-16 hour night shifts. It was wonderful to relax on the subway after a double shift and just read or write. Time on public transport is YOUR time.

    Editor’s Note: If you saw Angie’s car, you’d wonder that she isn’t lobbying hard for public transportation in Haines. It’s almost as old and banged up as our Jeep!
