How to Reduce Traffic

I didn’t take the train today. I didn’t write in my journal. I had to drive downtown to pick up my monthly train pass. City employees get issued a few free rides each month. It’s to encourage people to use the train and to decrease traffic. For some reason, though, you have to drive downtown to pick up the pass. So I drove to work on Thursday and then swung by after work to pick up the pass. Guess what? On Thursdays they only give the passes out between eleven and one. The lady was sitting there with an envelope full of passes but refused to give any up. So on Friday I drove to work again and went by the office after work and actually got the pass. Two trips for one pass. All this to reduce traffic.
