Whisked Away

As much as travel anxiety plagues me, I love the idea. I grew up on a pretty, tree-lined residential street which also served, for some reason, as a bus route for a large Intercity service as well as the local metro. Every day I would watch the buses fly by, and I'd wonder where they were going, what adventures they were having in the Big City (1983 Buffalo, NY!) and I'd dream of one day being among them.

Be careful what you wish for. I've been commuting by bus for over 30 years and... let's just say, I have stories.
