When was the last time anyone here took a bus?

Winning breeds confidence. Losing breeds reality.
Elementary school.
The driver was a creepy Michigan State fan and kept telling me I could sit on his lap every time I got on.
A few years ago when I actually lived somewhere with a bus route that went where I needed to go.

When I lived in Chicago, I took the bus all the time. For a few weeks, I think Jesus was on my bus.
Modern automobile transport is becoming both economically and environmentally unsustainable. Governments are losing the ability to maintain roads, drivers don't want to pay for gas, and the whole thing is just incredibly wasteful. All of us have our own combustion engines and the only thing those engines do is transport an average of 1.2 people in their own car.
The environmental answer is the easy one - put the engines in the hands of a few tightly regulated companies, that way the government doesn't have to regulate the little guy to death. Fuck it, I'll gladly give up my car to take a train as long as it takes me everywhere I want to go.
Here's my next car. A two seater, 8 feet long, over 40 MPG, built by Mercedes, and the mid range price is about 14G. Perfect for a town like Omaha where you spend about 11 minutes getting to work in the morning.

The problem with that is the stupid soccer moms in their Excursions and Escalades will kill you while talking on their cells phones.
Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gonna wear that or are you just fuckin' with me?
Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.
