Public transportation has always felt freeing. Though bound to a route and a schedule, the body is unbound. Eyes can wander to a book, hands can knit, the mind can rest. One can relinquish control of the machine, but also of the responsibility.
"There are brief moments behind the wheel when I can almost taste that freedom. After escaping a traffic jam, I feel like a wild horse breaking loose, galloping through the wind, until the next red light
reminds me of the system’s leash."
