Don't you have bus passes, Teuvo? That would eliminate haveing to get change all the time. Here the busses don't even supply change so you either have to have exact change, or pay with what you have and receive no change. Public transportation is pretty good here. The busses are only crowded at the rush hour times. Most people drive as it only costs $43 to get a licence. Busses stop at the bus stops that you want by pulling the bell string.

I took the bus for about 3 years and never had a problem. Except when it snows it somes like an hour late.

But now I drive because getting places by bus is very limited and time consuming. To get downtown I would ahve to take a bus to the LRT, then catch the LRT to downtown and then either walk or get on another bus to get where i'm going. 3 years of that was good enough for me. Driving is so much better. Except for the speeding tickets of course.
