You've been using the bus system in SF for over a year? I for one am impressed. It was pretty much a single journey from downtown to Mission (4½ miles?) that took over an hour and I had bought a bicycle & motorbike within the week. Besides, it's difficult to really feel part of SF unless you have a heartfelt opinion on parking space non-availability and fixies. Paul
