Insanity

Sometimes I think it's pure insanity why people in Utah take buses. Either we're green as can be or we enjoy punishment. Many of the bus routes that are available are pretty lousy alternatives to just driving in. For instance, we have a new route on the west side that takes about an hour and 15 minutes to get downtown. It takes me around 30 minutes using a similar route. What makes this route bad? I think currently it's just how much construction is going on and the freeway entrance at 21st south is fairly backed up in the morning, especially during rush-hour when this bus decides to meander its way downtown.
