Comex Bus

I have lived in the greater Saint John are since 1980 and never taken the city bus. Yesterday I took the Comex bus from here to the city. It a bus service offered to the out lying areas of Saint John and it runs specificially to get people back and forth from work Monday to Friday. I was only booked to work from 1000hr.-1530hr. and Paul had gone in for his regular 0730-1530hr. So rather than take 2 vehicles I decided to try the bus. It was a beautiful morning, no wind. I left the house at 0825 and caught the last bus into the city at 0840. The drive in was great, I listened to a podcast on my iTouch, took in the morning scenery and left the driving to someone else. I could see how people in large cities would take advantage of the public transportation system. I arrived in Saint John at 0900, stopped for a coffee at Tim's on my way to work and was standing at my locker at 0910. I then sat in our lounge drank my coffee, read the paper and went down the hall for 1000. Now I realize what would normally be a 20 minute commute turned into a 50 minute commute but I had the time to spare and I was not rushed. It's definitely something I and Paul will be doing on those days when I am only working part days.
