Saving Gas
I’m back to catching the streetcar to work on a regular basis again. When I bought my car a year ago I had been catching public transit to work every day. Once I got the car I was going to continue to use public transportation but it just did not work out that way. Of course at the time the streetcars still weren’t running. The bus just doesn’t have the appeal of the streetcar. Streetcar riding is an experience all to itself from the fresh air to the great view you get from the streetcar windows, the bus just can’t compete. The people watching on the streetcar is also a lot of fun. My observation tells me that tourists are starting to come back to the city. Not very many tourists were catching the bus. The RTA reports that the rest of the St. Charles line will be completed in spring 2008. Wait a minute it is spring 2008.
