Stapilus: Bus Ride Is Decent Option
There’s this, to begin with: The Greyhound bus run scheduled to
depart Portland at 11:50 p.m. left
at 11:50. That is exactly what the
big clock on Union Station north of downtown, and next door to the
Greyhound station in PDX, said as the bus cleared the building. The bus was scheduled to arrived at the bus station just west of
downtown Boise, more than 400 miles away and after eight intermediate
stops, at 10:05 the next morning. It pulled it at 10:04, and I stepped
off the bus at 10:05. The precision was impressive. I hadn’t been at all sure what to expect. But what emerged over the
course of the ride is an argument that “riding the bus” ought not to be
considered a second-class (or worse) option/
