... I get emotionally attached to people on my bus route. People I've never spoken to and some I've never even made eye contact with, but riding the same bus makes me feel connected to them. My co-worker rides the same route as I, and together we've named our "friends." There's the cute lil' old man, my co-worker's boyfriend (who isn't her boyfriend at all) and the couple. There are others but these are our closest bus friends. When they don't show in the morning, I worry about them. When I ride an earlier bus than my co-worker, she asks if our friends were there. How can you love people so much that you've never even spoken to? On the CTA, anything's possible.
