The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round

It’s funny how you can sometimes feel like the only person in the whole wide world with a particular issue.
I’ve seen plenty of other mom’s while I ride the bus, certainly, but for some reason I never expected to cross paths with them once more in cyberspace.
This week on Activistas there was this post, regarding the family-friendliness of the Tri-met, Portland’s mass transportation system which includes bus, light rail and street car. I thought it was pretty interesting to read the experiences of the various moms who, like me, use the bus exclusively and how this works for moms of young children to get around town, essentially without a trunk for strollers, groceries, library books, and “stuff”.
While I realize this may not be of interest to all of you, I wanted to draw your attention to it. I mean, in the grand scheme of the country moving towards not relying so heavily on their automobiles, I can imagine this being an issue in the next 50 years. How does a family live without their vehicles? What would that look like for cities across this country and how can they plan to accommodate our little one’s and all the “stuff” that comes with them?
So something to chew on!
