#15 Mass Transit

I drive forty minutes every day to work in Milwaukee by car, today I took the bus to work. This required leaving my home a half hour earlier so I could drive 10 minutes to a Park & Ride lot and then spend the next 55 minutes packed in a bus that didn't seem to have the heat on, all for $6.50 round trip. I nearly missed the bus going home because it looked completely different than the bus I took going to work and the electronic sign out front said it was going from Milwaukee to Chicago, definitely not the direction I was headed. By chance I happened to see a small printed sign shoved toward the bottom of the dashboard that said OW1 which sounded faintly familiar. I stepped in the bus just as the door was closing and asked the driver if it was going my direction, and it was. Homeward bound.
