Trains
Sometimes I wonder where I got my passion for public transportation and living life without a car. Then I think, duh, I got it from my dad. Congratulations, pops, for being called a “hero” [of Positive Train Control, aka what could have prevented the train wreck in LA] in the new issue of Trains magazine! Happy birthday, dad!

Too funny, Anne. I am yet to own a car as well. The public transportation in Boston is decent (as in accessible, but not very timely), but I recently moved out to the ‘burbs and am finding it a bit more difficult to get to where I need to go.. I might have to give in to the man, and look into my own set of 4 wheels.
Also, I actually just wrote a post about trains! Overnight trains to be exact.. now THAT, I couldn’t do every day :).
Best,

Zip Car or one of the other car share programs is the answer to your problems, Suz! :)
