Transit Odyssey 2009
Today I finally got my money’s worth from the all-day Saturday pass ($2 for unlimited bus rides).
- 20 Red South: downtown to campus, for pizza and witnessing whimsical conveyances
- 100 Yellow South: campus to Savoy, for the viewing of latest “talkie” film involving masked adventurers
- 100 Yellow North: Savoy to Target (this is practically the entire length of this route, from the southernmost to northernmost and took about an hour)
- 20 Red South (again): back to downtown
- 50 Green East: downtown to easternmost edge of Urbana, ostensibly for more grocery shopping but mainly I was engrossed in my reading material and kind of aimless
- 50 Green West: back home (downtown)
- NEVER DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS AGAIN
Actually, I had an idea once, when I was driving all up and down the Olympic Peninsula. I’d be out in the middle of nowhere, and there’d be a bus stop sign there. Western Washington has a whole mess of different local, county, and community bus systems, so I wanted to see how far I could get, starting in downtown Seattle. I could get pretty far into the Peninsula, for sure, and heading north and east I could probably get close to the Cascades.
