July 26, 2018 Transit Experimentation

I'm about to take Route 4 downtown. I'm checking the real time map to make sure the bus is on schedule. I'll begin my five minute walk in just a moment. (bit.ly/2Ka1mYO)

Along the way I found these vegetables made available by one of my neighbors. I would not have noticed this is it I had chosen to drive today.
Neighbors being neighbors! 
I have an uphill walk to get to the bus. Good thing there is a place to sit while I wait for it to arrive. The app says I have another few minutes to wait. It’s nice to sit here and relax a minute.
Down a steep hill and up a steep hill to get here! 
Taking the bus gives you the chance to see Charlottesville up close. I tried to get a picture of this new building.
The building is the new medical center at the University of Virginia
So far, no bugs. Just interesting things to look at on the journey. Also ran into someone I know and it’s nice to have a conversation.
The person I ran into was my daughter, who was on her way home from swim practice
No bugs. Ride took 20 minutes or so. I don’t have to worry about parking. I will do this again and will likely buy a monthly pass. I'd urge everyone who can give a CAT ride a shot to do so. It will give you a different perspective on Charlottesville and getting around Charlottesville. I've been making excuses not to ride. Glad that I chose to ride today.

And now the return journey. Trolley to halfway down West Main where I am meeting someone.
No bugs!
