I don't really have anything to say about it. I only take the bus when i get on a school bus to go
to school, i couldn't care less if it was dirty or not. I just take it because I have to. I only put 5 as
the middle ground because I just don't care. I have no reason to care. Taking the bus is just a
means of transportation, to get from one place to another but faster.
Choose more destinations you will need to know how to get to by taking the bus:
1. My job (when I get one)
2. grocery shopping.
3. bank.
4. Maybe a park.
5. Some sort of entertainment place.

Using the bus map and schedule (and the internet if needed), figure out which bus goes to each
place from your apartment, how long it takes to ride to/from this place, and what the basic
schedule of busses are for this bus line.
