I rode the bus back and forth to work (30 miles) for I think 25 years. I always made sure I lived by a "decent" (Indianapolis bus suck) bus line so I could get to work and back. I made sure I lived close to a store I could get groceries I needed during the week and by a pharmacy. I have been lucky enough to have insurance that I had a copay that it didn't matter what pharmacy I went to. I have tried Walmart and it's terrible for service and to get the meds I need they usually didn't have them.
But I remember being out waiting on the bus for 45 mins 5 am 53 yrs old in 27 below zero weather. And one night it snowed real bad it took us 5 hours to get from work to downtown to get the bus home. I was lucky. The bus was there. I'm spoiled now. Or I was until I got so sick I had to retire early. You bus riders hang in there. We know how it is. Love, Owl.
