Your status in world tends to be wrapped up in whether you own an I-pod, how many friends you have on Facebook and the type of car you drive. While the obvious is true, if you are not musically in touch you’re out and if you have no concept of what Facebook is, even my grandma knows that, you are definitely out. Not having wheels doesn’t have to delete you from popular society all together.
You are the new it girl! The green girl. You buy organic, you buy coffee from a fair trade company in Bali, you love the planet, puppies, whales and Tibetans and you just happen to ride the bus.
Why do you smile, even if a twenty minute drive takes you three hours? Because you do not contribute to the world’s pollution.
Did you know that in Beijing China, they have a new system for all they’re throngs of people? Each person who has a vehicle cannot drive their car at least once a week to save emissions and clear the air. They could not get enough of those blue skies during the Olympics.
In most major US cities you will be on a bus that uses natural gas instead of regular ole fuel. Hurray for the P.T.
Think of the all the walking you do from the bus stop to your house to work and back. All that walking makes for a healthy heart. Plus you save on a gym membership fees. 
You can also reduce your household expenses by not having a car note, gas card, car insurance and car maintenance. Hey! No more road rage, unless you want to yell at traffic from the bus but then you just look kinda crazy, just a smidge.
You are 79 times more likely to get in a car wreck than to get in a bus wreck and that percentage goes up in a train or on the subway. Hmm, now if only they would invent flying buses? Oh yeah that’s called flying coach.
