WE would luv to "hear" from YOU!!! Maybe share any TIPS that are "helping" you with transportation. 🤔

As I AGE I know at some point I will NO longer be able to "drive" but until then my "ride" (2006 Honda CR-V) comes 1st after my bills. I keep up on her maintenance. Lol, too old to be stuck out on the highway broken down or freezing my old a.s off somewhere during the Winter. Now I do stay home ALOT during the Winter as I live on a hill. Learn't that lesson a few Winters ago. Made it down my hill but could NOT make it back up.

When she is at my Mechanic, I use the City Bus & Uber if I have to leave her. I try NOT to as my "tolerance" for the passengers & Uber Drivers is ZERO. Now there are sometimes NICE Uber Drivers, usually the old people like me. My daughter pays for my Uber & I have a "free" bus id for bus. Only costs 85 cents each way with a "free" transfer to a 2nd bus from their "downtown" terminal as needed. I keep "change" in my purse so I have it always. Bus setup does NOT give you change back in "money" - you get "cards" to use for FUTURE RIDES. Not interested!

Did the City Bus YESTERDAY while I had some repairs done to my vehicle.

Beats having someone pick me up with GAS PRICES INCREASING!!! 😱

Still 85 cents each way for old people like myself. $1.75 for the youngsters. VERY GRATEFUL they have NOT "increased" bus fares for my area in Virginia.

Took bus to downtown terminal after dropping vehicle off at 7:30am ET. Pickup at 2pm. Took bus to next city beside mine. About 1 hour each way. Hung out there until it was time to head back to pick up vehicle.

Really ENJOYED my "mini" Road Trip & bus was NOT crowded as everyone was at work. 👍🎉💃🙃
