People pay thousands of CANADIAN dollars for a room on the legendary CANADIAN train; we paid $75.

As a city planner and former NYC Transit employee (in two different eras), I appreciate what you are doing. Especially the idea of getting around without a car or air travel, in a country set up for car, and air travel. It’s hard, but you can do it.
I live in Brooklyn, NY, and though we own a car we have never had to use it day to day. (I mostly get around by bicycle). But going outside NYC without a car is tough. When our kids had our car at college, and I had to use other modes outside the city, I found out what it was like. Terrible but I liked it. If you are a Christian, you don’t want to separate yourself from other people.
Keep calling attention to the disrespect for intercity bus riders. They are the least respected, and subsidies, of all travelers, and the most in need of advocacy.
You may want to read some of the posts on my former public policy blog, that I will link below. Especially those concerning transportation. I have provided a link in your website location to some of those posts as requested. This one is how the metro NY highway network discriminates against (among other things) buses.
