My van is going to be out of commission for at least a few more days, so after one day of paying overpriced taxi fares, I decided to try the city bus. Lucky for me, there’s an express line that connects the the Twin Cities downtowns. I was worried that my not-so-svelte chair wouldn’t fit in the bus’ assigned disability seating, but it worked well enough to keep me out of everyone’s way. The trip itself didn’t take any longer than usual, so hooray for efficient and accessible public transportation. I’m probably too spoiled to use the bus every day (especially in the winter), but it’s good to know that I have other options to get to work. And at least I won’t bankrupt myself on cab fares while simultaneously shelling out a ridiculously obscene amount to fix my van.
