Riders in the Storm

I got handed an interesting flyer the last time I went downtown on the bus from a member of the Bus Riders Union. They meet every month at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles and seem to have a very progressive agenda. Not only do they advocate more buses as a method of reducing air pollution and reducing traffic, they see riding the bus as an act of social equalization, economic reform and crime reduction. Knowing there's a group out there with such high ideals makes it much easier to trot off to the bus stop instead of mindlessly hopping in the car.
