25 Years of Transit

When I was a sophomore in high school, my family relocated and I began to attend high school in Springfield, Ill. Prior to moving, I had been attending high school in a small town nearby. Getting around that small town on my own as a 14-year-old was fairly straightforward: I walked everywhere. Upon moving to Springfield, however, I learned getting around on foot wasn’t practical. Springfield is significantly larger than that small town. That’s when I learned how to use public transit.
