Your Commute Is Killing You

I assure you, if you lived/worked in the city you would NOT want to take public transportation.

???

When I lived in Chicago, I took the L. It sucked, but not as much as driving.

To each their own i guess. I'd MUCH rather drive then deal with stinky, uncomfortable public vehicles that are often tagged on. Late/early Bus drivers, broken down buses, waiting the extra 5 minutes so the old dude in the wheelchair can board and get strapped in, then another 5 minutes for him to get off, which then causes you to miss your next bus/trolley

Or the downed power lines that kill the Trolleys. Or when a freaking tree falls over during a storm, blocks the tracks and delays your commute for 2+ hours (been there, done that)

And the people?!?! OH EM GEE

How about the smelly alcoholics? ****ed up drug abusers, annoying loud mouth teens, stank ass homeless people trying to bum change off ya? Even the gang activity. I once had a group of black people try to jack me as i was getting off the trolley. Some bitch reached into my pockets as i was walking down the isle, i told the bitch, "WTF, you doing??" Next thing you know ima bout to get jumped.

I had a friend get robbed for his shoes on the trolley.

Yeah.....

**** public transportation.

I'd much rather drive in my car than to deal with all that shit again.

This crap happens, certainly, especially in bad areas. But not so much during rush hour. Sure, you get stuck sitting next to the occasional garlic reeking foreigner, but normally it's just a regular person on their way home same as you.

I lived in Chicago for nearly 10 years, sometimes in some pretty ****ed up neighborhoods, and I never had a problem on the L. And taking the Metra (suburban commuter train) is much better than Chicago public transportation.

Didn't realize San Diego was so ghetto.
