When I was growing up, I never really considered public transportation as a viable option. The trains and buses in Austin were always too convoluted, too unreliable. If I have the opportunity, then, to take a train somewhere rather than renting a car, I rather enjoy doing this.
Navigating an unknown train system is eye-opening and rewarding, but also time-consuming. Knowing this, I stacked my phone with several albums, but after 7 hours of travel, and very few places to plug in during layovers, charge time was at a premium. I was,.. recharge over at the Pharamcy.
I loved DART. The trains were great. Fun and easy. Especially for things like the fair or Texas/OU game… it was vital. WAY easier.
