Gasoline is well over $3.00 a gallon. It's going up. And people are saying that they will quit their jobs rather than take the bus.
Seriously. In my office, I overheard that conversation.
My jaw has dropped past my knees.
I've been trying to find a viable way to make it to my office by public transportation for months. (In a weird moment of synchronicity, I actually discovered the correct way to accomplish this. It will take over 2 hours to make it to work. I have issues with getting up early, but 45.00 per week for gas will help me overcome them.) Somehow, it makes me less than human not to want to drive 32 miles a day.
Part of that overheard conversation included the line, "I wouldn't feel like a person if I had to take the bus."
*whimper*
