I think you are watching too much TV! Just kidding. Seriously. Why don't you just ride the bus for a couple of days and check it out? You may find it is really convenient and worth doing. If we had public transport I would happily use it as I find it so much more relaxing to be able to sit on a bus and not have to worry about traffic and parking. I like to take tour buses for trips and find it very convenient.
On our last vacation, we didn't drive the entire week because the bus stopped right in front of our hotel and it was so much more convenient and easy to hop the bus and go downtown.

I have to agree! It's only for a short trip to work, you will never know what type of other people catch the bus except for the judgments you make up in your head. And so what if you're the only educated, affluent rider? You don't have to make a connection with anyone. Just put in your headphones or read a book, don't make eye contact with anyone and life goes on. I ride public transit, I have to drive to the train station but I wish there was a bus that ran in front of my house. For the record, I have a master's degree, a home, husband, kids, etc. Also while riding I have seen many people I recognize like physicians and attorneys.
