Anyone take it?
Living in LA is a constant traffic jam. I was fortunate enough to get a new job that is about 3 blocks away from one of the few rail lines that run in this city - doubly fortunate because I happen to live 2 blocks from a station as well. I seem to average at least 90 minutes on the road a day (round trip), so today I decided I will give public transit a shot and form and opinion. I always had this romantic notion of taking trains, I took them in europe and enjoyed the freedom and minimal work. LA is hardly London, but I'm about ready to say **** public transportation.
-My round trip commute took 3 hours. 1 connection, probably 15 stops. $5 day pass.
-There was a 5 minute delay for an emergency and this one bum was getting all pissy, causing a scene
-Oh yea, the bums and poor people
-We all had to get off one train cause it was being turned off or some **** and pile into the next train 10 minutes later
-The only empty seat was next to the old singing black bum, whom everyone was annoyed with
-Ladies carring babies and panhandling candy
Is this **** normal?
**** man, that all was just on my trip home. Going to work was cool, had my coffee, zoned out a bit, made my notes for a meeting. But coming home was a disaster. I just want a beer now! Im gonna give it one more honest effort on a Wednesday or something, but gas aint that expensive anymore. Think Ill stick to driving.
