But don\u2019t let that fool. The station near my house is so unreliable that sometimes the bus doesn\u2019t even arrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing this, I avoid the stop completely and use the 88 bus line that\u2019s seven minutes away from my house and drops me off 10 minutes away from Kendall Campus. If not, I take the 104 bus that is 20 minutes away from my house, but drops me in front of the M building.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of what I do, I always arrive to class tired and sweaty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biking to school would be a viable alternative, however, I live in a dinky second-floor apartment that has no room for a bike. When I did have one, I kept it outside until it got stolen the same week I got it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, this semester I\u2019ve been able to take the 272 bus, which is around the corner from my house and allows me to transfer to the 204 line. It drops me off across the street from Kendall Campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While I\u2019m grateful for the small change, another concern for me is cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paying $2.25 per bus ride adds up, especially when you take at least three buses per day. Add the fact that I work a part-time minimum wage job and you quickly realize I spend nearly 14% of my monthly income on the bus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What frustrates me is that my investment goes nowhere. Most of the buses I take are completely run down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The short buses in the 72 and 272 lines look like they haven\u2019t been serviced in decades. For instance, the 72 has a paper taped to the windshield that announces the bus route instead of an electric display.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In one instance, a driver told me to wait for a new bus or hope for a miracle. Apparently, his bus had been randomly shutting down throughout the day. In situations like those, waiting for a bus can literally take hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is it possible that Miami, one of the most prosperous cities in the United States, can\u2019t find the resources to have clean buses that function and adhere to their schedule?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to shift our priorities from getting wasted on South Beach to striving for a public transportation system that is adequate for the thousands of residents that depend on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34014\"
