Car Free in Raleigh

So, our first bus ride in Raleigh was less than stellar.

First, it involved three different bus lines: one to get from our house to downtown, one from downtown to North Raleigh, and a connector to get over to North Hills Mall.

Riding alone or with older children, three bus rides would have offered an opportunity to peruse a magazine or two. With a toddler who had missed his nap, however, it offered an opportunity to torture the passengers who had the misfortune of choosing the same bus.

Next time, I will require a true emergency to travel by bus with a sleep deprived toddler. There was nothing we were purchasing that we couldn’t have bought online; we were just impatient to have it now.

Old habits die hard.
