I sure love my kid!

Make sure you tell her this a few weeks down the road, and how proud you are of her for being responsible and taking steps to get things right. But, I'm probably preaching to the choir.

I agree with Artkansas. In most of the cities in which I have lived, a bike is faster than a bus. It is obviously far more convenient as well. Also, if your busses have carriers for bikes it makes sense to combine the two modes.
