But the thing that excites me most about taking public transit is watching the people who come in at every stop. It is exciting to recognize the middle schooler with the headphones, the young mother with the infant in a stroller, and the construction workers with their hard hats tucked under their arms. They are my neighbors. On public transportation, I am reminded that they are the people I am called to love.
Not even just the sticks, just suburbs if big cities. I am lucky to live close enough to a bus route, but a lot folks in the area just don’t have public transit as an option
