- Good: gets me to and from work every day / Bad: takes a little longer than driving
- Good: allows me to do my little part to save the earth / Bad: air quality and temperature inside the bus are sometimes poor
- Good: great for people watching / Bad: some riders are annoying
- Good: I get to read or relax rather than having to focus on driving / Bad: squeaky brakes and the occasional bad driver make relaxation tough some days
- Good: over the years I have saved thousands of dollars on gasoline, vehicle maintenance, parking, and so on / Bad: now I don't have a good excuse to buy a new car

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
Good: The bus runs less than a tenth of a mile past my house.
Bad: The one time in the last three years I’ve needed to take the bus, it failed to show.
Granted, it was right after the snowstorm in March. I called the StarTran number and they said it was stuck for 40 minutes. Aren’t buses supposed to not get stuck, ever? And what about the other bus on that route? I was out there for 50 minutes and it didn’t show either. I’ve ridden StarTran with few problems in the past, but my most recent experience leaves me with no confidence in it.
