When I moved to the city I sold my car and bought a bus pass thinking "It can't be that bad!!" Well, as you know muni is not everyones best friend! Especially when you are running towards it with hands full of groceries. You know the drill: the bus waits, you run, once your within arms reach it shuts the door in your face and takes off.
Then i discovered the wonderful invention called Zipcar. I got in on a deal and only paid $25 to start up and I usually just get the cheapest car they have. What a deal. All the cars I have been in are well kept and usually have a place to doc my iPod. Now my grocery trips are a breeze! I also rented a mini cooper for a full day on my birthday and drove up to napa. I had so much fun! and it was great to not have to worry about gas, insurance, etc.
Pros: no more running after the bus
Cons: havent found one yet
