#17 Public Transportation - The stress-free way to commute.

There was a time when I scoffed at bus riders. Now, I walk a mile to the subway, then hop on a bus for my morning commute. My drive was 15 or 20 minutes shorter, but my back always hurt after the drive, and the Los Angeles traffic was a nightmare. Now, I get two easy doses of exercise a day, read comics and listen to music on the train and walk into work with a completely different attitude. Considering the lousy options other cities have, I'm truly grateful to live in a town with useful bus and train lines.
