This is another rant, so I apologize to anyone that's getting sick of them.
I don't have my driver's license. The primary reason being I was too broke to do Driver's Ed in high school, and now I'm too broke to take the tests on my own. That aside, even if I did have a license, I'm way too broke to afford a car, even a clunky beat up car. So I rely almost entirely on the bus system to get around.
Which wouldn't be so bad, if the bus were ever ON TIME.
There's nothing worse than standing outside for 20 minutes because A) the bus came early, or B) the bus is super late. Especially when it happens to be somewhere around -3 degrees out.
I hate being late for anything. In fact, I'm usually 15+ minutes early for everything. Except when I have to take the bus.
Ok, so on average it usually isn't a problem. Maybe I just have the worst luck with the bus route that I use. But it is getting a little out of hand. I understand that the buses are all running late because of the snow. Totally out of my control, but I'll still be late for work, and I'll still get written up for it (another rant that I will not air publicly like this).
Even in the summer, for no reason apparent to me, I'll have a bus show up a full half hour late. If I were to ask the bus driver, they usually get super defensive and hostile. I've also noticed that drivers take really long layovers, and frequently leave the mall 5-10 minutes after they're scheduled to.
I don't know what to do about it but it's driving me nuts.

Sounds like you have lots of valid reasons. Back in my day public schools offered driver's ed, but I imagine that's been cut now. That being said I didn't get my license until I was about 28, though I learned to drive several years prior. I would advise anyone in Milwaukee to get their license ASAP and will gladly put my money where my mouth is by volunteering to help practice and give the use of my car. Er, once I get it shoveled out, that is :-)
