We approached closer and closer to yet another stop, where a parent stood waiting in grim expression. Five students stood. If there were ever worst days, this was one of them.

My worst commute to work was when I was in my early 20 's and living in San Diego. I was in college full-time and working part-time at a mall that was about 30 minutes away by car, but took me three times that by bus and trolley.
