Author David Obst had a moment of clarity while stopped in traffic outside Ventura. I would like to point out to readers that the bus to Ventura costs just $2 for seniors and makes a number of convenient stops in both Santa Barbara and Ventura. Even at that low price there is never a lack of seats.
As a carless Santa Barbara resident, I have marveled for many years at the huge arbitrage gap between the low cost of public transportation and the expense and endless hassle of driving and parking.
