No thanks, I have a ride!

The beauty of having a bus pass is the unlimited amount of rides you can take! Previously, I always bought coffee in the morning, purely for the extra benefit of receiving change back so I had exactly $1.50 to ride the bus for most of my trip. And even though I had that $1.50 and I could ask the driver for a transfer, I had to keep in mind just how much I was going to spend. I always had to debate whether or not I would try to walk in an effort to save money, or if I REALLY needed to get somewhere on time, I would have to fish around in my backpack for another nickel or dime.

And even if I caught a ride from a friend, I love riding the bus. Not just for the convenience, I love riding the bus for the few minutes out of my day that I’m not in the UPS bubble. The bus takes me into the “outside world” that includes Proctor, Safeway, Pt. Defiance, Old Town and so many other wonderful places for a curious college student.
