PRT

I'm not sure how to get to hell, but I'm sure it involves public transportation. ~Norm Macdonald

Which Debate Team are You With?

There is a lot of debate over the PRT. Two Facebook groups exist: We love the PRT, and Fuck the PRT. My feelings toward it are closer to the former.

Since I became interested in speech pathology, I've had a lot of classes in Evansdale, and the PRT lets me get to class, live in my favorite part of town, and avoid fighting over parking and shelling out quarters to meters. It's lit, and heated/air conditioned, and there are seats. Plus, the Walnut Street PRT station is considerably less crowded than the Beechurst station, so you are nearly guaranteed a seat. And it's just plain fun to say, "I'm PRT-ing to class." And it's called a "people mover." C'mon!

For those of you who don't feel admiration toward the PRT or who may belong to the Fuck the PRT facebook group, you may want to read about my bus route in high school to begin to understand why I'm so fond of the PRT as a form of public transportation.
