Yes! And did you know one of his sons invented Lincoln Logs?

John Lloyd Wright. Yes, that I knew.

So far my first day of bus commuting has been great. The morning ride is a total breeze, I felt a thousand times better when I arrived at work than I normally do getting out of my car. That may just be the newness of it, and the evening ride home remains an unknown, but it's a great start.

What kind of passes do they offer for OCTA?

I'm lucky that I'm on a subsidized pass from my employer, so I just use it to break up my commuting as needed. I've found that rides home can go either way. But it's always great when I can zone out.

$55 for a 30 day pass. I don't believe my company does any sort of carpool/transit incentive program, so no help there. This week I'm buying day passes ($4/day) until I'm convinced I can commit to it.

Any transfers? If you have transfers then you won't know for sure how committed you are until you've experienced a breakdown in transferring.

Ghoulish Delight · 06-21-2010, 09:55 AM

Yeah, there are 2 transfers. But the buses run on 15 minute schedules, there are a fair number of alternate routes I can get to, and I'll have my bike with me which should make it easier to triage.

Do you know what Bubba Lloyd Wright is famous for?

Do you really expect anyone who knows you to take that bait?
