Today I embarked on what some people call the dry run, but what the Captain calls Leader's Recon: I rode the trolley to my office. It was fun, and not unreasonably time-consuming (forty-five minutes door-to-door).
A few things. First, the trolley is not so much a trolley but a light rail. Cars are spacious and clean, and the stations all look like they have been recently renovated. I had to transfer lines on the way, but the transfer was across-platform, and the new lines were there to meet me, both ways.
Second, the trolley is underused. I rode during rush hour and I was able to get a double seat to myself the entire way.
Third, the trolley drops me off in front my office. It also stops at my gym, the outlet mall, and the regular mall that the locals call "Fashion Valley." Given my skittishness on the freeway and the exorbitant price of gas, I'm wondering how long I can go without having to fill up the tank.
This will be a fun game.
