A small-city public transportation journal. Wednesday, November 28, 2007. AT LEAST IT WAS CARPOOLING. To the State Campus. It started out as a great plan, putting me in the vicinity of my building with both plenty of time to get there, and still allow me to get in about twenty minutes of walking, which I'm beginning to really enjoy.

A small-city public transportation journal. Thursday, December 13, 2007. Christmas shopping almost made me late for work, but I still managed to catch the bus and get to work on time.

Again, the worst part of the whole trip home was walking up the campus ramp in the dark, this time, slippery and snow-covered. Two 13s were stopped on Lark street going the ot...

That being said, onto the results:. 1 What is your age?

A small-city public transportation journal. Monday, April 21, 2008. BREWSTER. A NEW WAY TO GET AROUND. This weekend, though, I bought myself a new bike; a hybrid bike with a more upright frame and sturdier tires; a red bike. It was the red that sealed the deal.

RIDING THE BUS: STRAPPED ON MY BOOTS AND HIT THE ICY ROAD
http://rtbalbany.blogspot.com/2007/12/strapped-on-my-boots-and-hit-icy-road.html
A small-city public transportation journal. Monday, December 10, 2007. STRAPPED ON MY BOOTS AND HIT THE ICY ROAD. I had to take a week's hiatus from public. Transit last week. Between doctors' appointments, assignments due, group meetings, and my full-time job, there was no way I could rely on the wait and walking times required for bus riding. In this way, I was thankful for cars. Albany salts the roads for cars. It doesn't for pedestrians. Dark and slippery or not, I decided it was safer to...Because o...
