I live near Brownwood. I like jumping on 301 and being on the north west end of town fairly quickly. If there was a quick way to drive to the north east end of town that would be great.
I like mass transit. Sometime I take the village bus tour to catch up and I have nothing better to do. It would be great to me to jump on a bus and go to Ocala, Disney or a place I could pick up Amtrak or Greyhound. But it has to be affordable. Right now it cost more to get to Ocala than it does for someone in Ocala to get to Miami. What's up with that?
It's funny. When I was a kid in the Jersey City area looking at older people getting on the bus or subway with me it never occurred to me that could also be enjoying the ride and meeting new people not just trying to get to their destination ASAP like me.
