   Using public transportation on a daily basis can ruin your day or get you   
   fired. When I'm taking more than one bus I help myself with my bike. I must   
   congratulate them for providing racks on the bus because otherwise it would be   
   completely dysfunctional.   
      
   The Right sees public transportation as a waste of taxpayers money. Funny the   
   military doesn't get the same mistrust.
