[blparent] blparent Digest, Vol 84, Issue 2

[Amanda Winkler]

I agree and planning is going to be your key to success if you choose this 
method.  Practice a lot to get the process fast and efficient.  I also would 
give yourself 5-10 minutes at the bus stop prior to the bus arrival so you 
can be ready to board the bus immediately.  As a bus commuter that relys on 
three buses to get to work in the morning before 8am, please please don't do 
your first 5runs on the bus prior to 10am especially if you are going to do 
this alone.  Morning bus commuters and drivers are the grumpyest to 
unprepared or simply slow people.
