Buses

I have a lot to say about buses actually.

I have thought of a few things over the course of time. Today I was just walking on the sidewalk to class, and I thought of an incident:

I would casually mention my blog to this person and once they asked me, "what do you write about?". This question, for some reason, embarassingly, was hard to answer. I just feel like I write about so many different things that it's hard to even encapsulate or categorize.

I write about so many different things, how to categorize? Philosophical? Random?

It's easy: I just think about things and write.

Being at UW-Madison, I have been exposed more to public transportation than ever before. Even if I live close to Milwaukee, I don't know if I ever utilized public transportation there. I mean it's not as if I actually live in Milwaukee. I still live quite far, if you really think about it.

But I don't even utilize the bus much at UW-Madison either, for the following reasons:

1. Kind-of claustrophobic. Don't like to feel squished by people on a bus (would rather walk).

   1. And especially when the weather is not particularly nice (cold or windy) that's when everybody is on the bus! Yet that would be the opportune time to ride it

2. And if it's nice out: well then I'll just walk, get some UV, you know? Sun feels rare these days, even if that'll get better soon (spring/summer). Then university students will be home for the summer and then come back and bam fall and and winter and slow spring and suddenly the sun is nonexistant again.

   
   

   And then, there's

3. Feeling like I don't trust the bus, like I can account for my feet getting me there in a timely manner, and it feels like a safe choice (a set-out time I leave for), but how can I rely on a bus vehicle with a driver I don't even know?

   1. Like what if the bus runs into some kind of issue, too many people, late (and now I just wasted time waiting for it that I could've been walking)

      1. can be late now because of it

   2. I don't know like what if the bus breaks
