I'm noting that part of the incentive to riding the bus was eliminating the stress that commuting causes... but lately the bus has been much more stress inducing.

I'm saying I hated taking the bus from Bothell to downtown due to the time it took. I could drive faster and as I didn't care where I park the POS rental car no worries.

I'm also kind of sorry I don't commute by car sometimes.

I'm pretty lucky, I walk from my house to and from the train station so no miles on the car.

I'm noting I have to switch buses... If one bus is a few minutes late, getting to the 2nd one becomes a crap shoot. My morning commute has a 3-4 minute window of lateness, so all it takes is one drunk idiot or cripple to screw that up and turn my 55 minute commute into 70 minutes.

I'm adding that yes, there are frequently drunks on my 6:02 AM bus ride into downtown Seattle.

I'm also adding that riding the bus reinforces almost every negative stereotype that exists about the poor, rednecks, and blacks.
