TRANSIT: because FUCK CARS

I frickin’ hate cars and love public transit. It takes me everywhere I want to go, cheaply, reliably, sometimes very entertainingly, with no worries about parking, insurance, traffic, or fender-benders.

Everyone driving their own ton of steel and glass is not sustainable, so come join me on the bus — twenty tons of steel and glass!
