On Friday, I went to go visit a good friend who lives in Murray. I took the Provo "Frontrunner" down over by the new Provo Temple.
It was a good experience and reminded me of other times I've gone on subways and buses elsewhere.
I went with 2 other friends and we all had a great time. It was fun to "people-watch" and see how people reacted. Some brought little families who were giddy and excited to be on a "twain!" while others seemed like it was nothing special.
I noticed how with the public transportation differed greatly from major cities. I've ridden subways in New York, DC, and London (there they're called "tubes") and this was nicer for a couple reasons.
1) it was obviously outside and not underground
2) it didn't smell like sulphur or stink at all
3) people seemed to be more cheerful and talkative.
Yeah, the max station in portland stunk!
ReplyDeleteYeah, they really did frontronner pretty well. I guess I'm OK with driving on crappy roads for two years to let them build it.
ReplyDeleteI like that the front runner is above ground as well. Definitely makes for a safer, cleaner system.
