    I’m in Albuquerque, NM. They did a test last year of Free Buses. Then made it permanent this year.

    I’ve never used the bus, because the city is very much built for driving. But I do like that that the bus is free. Just wish I didn’t have to walk a mile, and up a big hill to get to my closest stop.

      Over here we already have plenty of memes based on “What if Breaking Bad happened in Europe? It’d been very underwhelming because we have public healthcare.” But I’m glad Albuquerque can at least say “well we could maybe have mitigated some of the car shenanigans in the series now.”

        The joke here is that Canadian Breaking Vad is the same TV show, except he is trying to pay for parking.

        1. Every hospital has along term parking solution you just need to ask about.

        2. Take public transit.

          The Canadian version would be still getting into cooking meth to afford housing now.

        I like it. But I seem to be in the minority. Everybody around me complains about all kinds of stuff. Mostly crime. But they do that in every city.

        The weather is pretty mild. I do not miss dealing with feeet of snow every year.
        There is plenty to do. Though I did hear someone from LA complain they were bored. But I came from a small town.
