Reasons to ride the bus downtown:
It’s cheap.
Saves gas.
No parking fees.
No worries about drinking and driving.
Get to see new parts of the city.
Get to see interesting new people.
Reasons not to ride the bus downtown:
Some women prefer to bath in their perfume rather than apply it.
Old men complaining that the wheelchair ramp ran over their left foot.
Annoying guy who wants to chat and thinks he’s hilarious.
Sometimes people pee on the seat.
All in all I think it’s worth it.
