I have not caught a bus for a very long time (like it could be 5+ years). After years of catching the bus to uni and a few short trips to a course a year after I graduated I have avoided public transport like the plague. Basically, these days I like things to go by 'my' time, I don't want to be scheduled to 'leaving right now', and I don't like the thought of being stuck on a bus in the middle of traffic...anyways all my dumb reasons aside this week I needed to catch a bus into the city and back in peak hour for three days (as I did a course for work). And...I was pleasently suprised ,and here is the amazing thing, I think I might catch the bus again, just because I want to.
In the city I live in we have this fantastic thing called the 'busway' and it is basically an extra set of separated lanes that runs the entire length of the freeway to the city (basically guaranteeing you won't have to sit through peak hour mayhem). This has been around for years, but this week I appreciated that it is easier to use, more frequent and quicker than I ever remembered it to be.
So, even though I am glad I don't have to catch it every day (as I am lucky enough to live 5 minutes from my work), I am glad I gave it another go...and was pleasently suprised.
Or I could just be still on a high from enjoying full buffet lunches from a fancy pants hotel for the last 3 days ;0)
It also has the added bonus of being a novelty for the kids - Callum loves riding on the train.
