Public transportation is all the same. You choose a destination, a time, and which form to use. On a bus, there are route maps to all the destinations in your city. Your local bus authority has the maps available on line. The bus has a set schedule, and will arrive at the bus stop at certain times. When you get on it, you must pay a fare to ride. If you need to "transfer" (going from one bus to another on your trip) then you must buy extra tokens to do this. The bus system is designed to go to your destination with a minimum of fuss. It works this way. If you have to go from Main Street to Broadway, you look at the bus schedule. It says that the Main Street bus will arrive at the Main and Second Street bus stop at 2:30. You want this bus, so you go to the bus stop and wait for the bus. When you get on, you pay the fare. This is set by the city, and will be posted on the website. Ok, you know that the Main Street bus doesn't go to Broadway, but it connects to the Broadway bus at Smith Street and Main. You ride to Smith Street, get off and wait for the Broadway bus at the Smith Street bus stop. You have also bought a transfer token from the Main Street bus when you got on, so you don't have to buy another fare. Then you get on the Broadway bus to get to your destination. Working a bus schedule is kind of like working a puzzle. You know where you want to go, it's just a matter of putting the route together. People in large cities do it all the time, so you can do it too. Look for the bus schedules for your city on line. The metro bus system has a website with the bus lines and the fare schedules, so that's where to start. The fare schedules will show that you can frequently buy a "fare card" for a great rate for a whole month, so this might be a good idea if you need to ride the bus for a long time. Take the time to figure out where you want to go, when you want to get there, and how long it will take. It's homework, but it's worth it. Public transportation is all the same.
