Public Transit in the Winter

[revchris]

It seems to me that if a city like Madison wanted people to use public transportation more, they'd do more in the winter about making bus stops more usable.

I went out tonight and shoveled out the bus stops and crosswalk/curb cuts that teeka and I use to get to and from work. I didn't have to do it, but I did it because I didn't want to have to climb through the snow every day. Today, the first bus that went by, the driver looked at me like I was doing something wrong and/or illegal. The driver of the third bus stopped just to thank me for what I was doing and tell me that it was a really nice thing to do.

I'm probably going to do this again and again for the rest of the winter, but that's just the way it goes.
