Since my new place is on the bus line, I've been taking the bus to school and back. Though there is some feeling of being trapped at school if I needed to get home in a hurry, I love the feeling of community in taking the bus. I feel like all us who ride are on some great adventure together to unknown destinations, unknown hours ahead where anything could happen. I suppose I feel this way because I typically take public transportation when I'm in a major US city or when I've been in Europe.
I remember how my step-dad talks about people back home catching the train to the city and think how wonderful if rural areas where connected via train like they used to be. I can hardly imagine how lovely it must have felt to take the train through the mountains, the tracks often following the course of a river.
