The redhead is not a fan of public buses.

Why may you ask?
They are practical, you could say, even convinient. And I understand that. I understand the practicality of public tranportation and I am glad they have it here, and in fact I wish that we had it more in the United States, however (!) I more hate public buses in place of normal school buses for us.
The main reasons include: The public buses are naturally not free because of course they are public, they are for the people at large and the people have to pay for services they use. You have walk to a bus stop to wait for the bus that could be a good amount from your house.The public buses cater, of course, to normal workers as well, making them jam-packed at seven in the morning when everyone is going to school and to work. It is this way here in Germany as opposed to the comfortable American system.
A system that, because of a lack of public buses, especially ones as reliable as public buses here, instead they provide the American grade school student with the life staple of the school bus, bright yellow, ugly sunshine caterpillar that gobbles you up at your doorstep in the morning and spits you back out at 3 o'clock everyday. It used to be a sight, a sounds that churned my stomach and made me groan. It was the roaring promise of another school day in a healthy engine. But I have become wiser.
How convenienced, how blessed I was to be giving a FREE, safe, warm ride 3,5 dangerous miles of winding country road into town to be fill my brain with interesting things. And it was not only free, but guarenteed you a seat, and a comfortably empty-ish bus in which you could day dream for 10 minutes until you arrived. The yellow school buses rarely encountering traffic-jams beside the occasional road-kill deer.
The school bus, where sitting down was not awkward because you already knew everybody and farts were more secretive. Where windows could be thrown down and wind blown inside. The school bus. Oh how I dearly miss you, I will see you next year.
