I never need to go out of town. All of my trips are across town. Using a taxi for a one-hundred mile trip would cost plenty of money.
My school bus driving job has me taking people all around the state. Thursday two buses took about one hundred people to a ski lodge for a day of skiing. Friday was the same. Nobody would have wanted to pedal a bicycle up a mountain hauling skis or snowboards. At $50 per child some body was making money.
