I've been taking the TTC for just over 7 years straight now, and I've got to say, I'm just not ready to give it up. Call me crazy! But that is just the way my mind is working right now.Yes, I can admit that there are times, when I'm late for work and I'm waiting for the bus, or when someone steps on my foot, or when you're really tired and there are no seats, oh and also those times in the summer when it's really hot and everyone is crowded and cranky and smelly... it's times like those that make me wish I would just stop being so stubborn and go out and get my G1 and start my life on the road as a free woman.
The honest truth is though, that I don't want to be a free woman yet. I feel like I just don't need to make that step in my life yet. Don't get it twisted, I love to drive. I drove for the first time when I was five or six in my Daddy's lap.
I love the feeling of driving. But... I've spent so many years taking the TTC that I don't think I'm ready to really say goodbye yet. I feel a certain commitment to it.
Things just aren't the same when you drive; You don't get to meet new people, and see strange things, you don't have to concentrate, or steer. You just get to travel along until you reach your desired destination.
I can feel that time creeping up fast though. Actually, I promised my Dad that I would read-up this week and go for my test next week. Excited? Not really. Confident? No where near. Gotta do it? Yup.
Oh boy.
I don't have a car, but I've used public transportation and it's great. Well... sometimes it isn't that great, but this makes it even better :p because as you said, you discover something new most of the times.
ReplyDeleteThe bad thing about public transportation in my city is that it's very expensive :( but oh well, I still like it.
Great post *thumbs up*
Thanks. =)
