All Aboard!

In an effort to further reduce expenses associated with commuting to and from work, I’ve decided to quit my job and become a ward of the state through the glories of the welfare system.  Actually, that’s not exactly accurate.  What I meant to say is that I’ve started taking UTA’s FrontRunner service to and from the office.

About a month ago, Holly mentioned that Weber State students are able to get free bus passes.  These passes also include passage aboard FrontRunner, Utah’s version of a “high speed” commuter train that runs from Ogden to Salt Lake and back again.  While I question these alleged high speeds, it does a nice job of getting me to work in about the same amount of time that it would take me to drive.  It’s also free for me since I’m a student so it’s really a no lose situation.  The only downside is if I miss the train.  Waiting on the platform for 30 minutes until the next train arrives isn’t fun.
