Traffic report

I've been meaning to take pictures of the traffic around here to give you an idea of why I take the bus. Today, I was sitting in the front. I have stopped caring that other people on the bus think I'm nuts. "Bollocks to them," I say!

I have a friend who lives just north of Williamsburg, in the country. He occasionally comes to Rocky Mount to work. Last time we talked, he told me the only decent radio station he gets comes from Raleigh. He marvels that the evening traffic and accident report takes 15 minutes. I'm surprised it's that short.

Again, I can only do so much with the 2 megapixel camera, but thats all white headlights on the left and all red lights on the right. Bumper to bumper in both directions. With the exception of Mexico DF, can any other city claim rush hour traffic as bad?

Rae's back! Hi Rae!

Sadly, Ma was not on the bus this afternoon. That's okay. Give's me another day to figure out pronunciation.

You clearly have never lived in Sydney, Australia Meg. LOL That's country traffic there girl!;) Love the photos.

Meg, just hop on the bus and come on down to the Great State of Charlotte. Raleigh rush hour looks like 2pm on a Wednesday in Charlotte. No, I'm not exaggerating.

You ride the bus in Raleigh? You rock! I also live in Raleigh, but have never ventured on the bus. I was probably one of those drivers in one of those pictures...

Ronnica,

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by!

You know, I started a series on how to ride the buses around here. I was surprised to find it remarkably easy to get around. I will finish my "Getting Around" posts this week, so check back soon!
