    Up until going to Abbott I really didn't use any sort of public transit daily. So throughout the initial part of my life I figured hardly anyone used it and that it isn't as good as everyone makes it out to me. I was wrong. many people including myself use it everyday to cummute to work or to school, and now I actually think more people should be using it. Too many people enjoy the convenience of their gas powered cars and it's certainly not helping us in the battle for climate change. Since being able to drive I still try to avoid using a car to get around places, if it's reasonably close I'll take the bus or bike depending on the weather.
