Day 5: Transportation I don't drive and I'm grateful that, where I live, I don't have to. Chicagoland has very good public transportation. I just made lunch plans for two different dates with two different friends who live 25 miles apart. These women don't even know one another. Yet the conversations went pretty much the same way, coordinating when our trains and buses arrive.
It occurs to me that both of those women have cars but they choose to take public transportation. Better for the environment and cheaper, with gas prices what they are parking costing what it always does.
