	Here in the 'hood we have little or no functional bus service. The 
Washington Avenue line only runs during weekday rush hour, and the 
Lyndale Avenue line is rife with muggers. From my most humble abode 
here in the middle of gang turf there is no route out that does not 
pass through at least one area of gang activity. Thusly one needs 
either speed or firearms to safely escape, so I am forced to commute by 
motor vehicle.
