Public Transportation

For those of you who have seen Eric's latest masterpiece, Jingle Balls, How Blayne Got His Christmas Spirit Back, you know that the scenes on the Greeley Bus are classic. Eric brought to our attention that there is public transportation in Greeley, so today Kathy, Yen, and I decided to try it out.
There is a new route called the 34 Express that goes from the Greeley Mall to Centera and during the month of August it is free. So, we headed to the mall and waited. About 4 minutes late, the large, new, quarter of a million dollar new bus rolled up.

We got on and enjoyed a nice ride to Centera. The bus driver was new but she got us there safely, with only one wrong turn which made us go around the round-about a few times. We shopped and then Kathy said she was hungry so we headed to the Mexican restaurant where the bus would pick us up to grab some chips and salsa to go. We were sitting happily munching away (looking rather stupid I'm sure, especially to all those posh, Hummer-driving people who stared at us as they drove by).

Then the dark sky opened. The bus stop wasn't one of those nice plexiglass ones (that we had complained were too stuffy earlier!), but simply a covering. We just stood there in the rain, hoping the bus would be on time. Luckily it was!



So, if you live in Greeley check out this service-especially since it's free until Sept. 1! It's not that scary, really...
