Waiting for the train...

Living in a city this large we really have no need to own a car. We rely strictly on public transportation, like the bus or train which is always interesting.

First of all the bus drivers here have to be some of the worst drivers I have ever encountered. There is one driver on a route a take every so often who just loves to hit the breaks as hard as she can every time she wants to slow down or stop.

I have to say the most entertaining part of it all aside from the many people who ride the public transit, are watching them as they wait for the bus/train. A lot tend to chat with whoever is in their Fav 5 until someone will talk to them long enough to look important. Others will talk to themselves, or yell to themselves, others pace back and forth. Others I have actually seen practicing their dance moves, or rapping or singing.

Never a dull moment when waiting for a train.
