Another year has come and gone, but this isn’t a look back so let’s move on with some new news! The post title doesn’t mean we’re not a family friendly site anymore, nor does it mean that our bus system is trying a new way to woo riders. It does allude to me and my husband expecting our first child this summer, though. Why in the world would you care? You might not, but I am excited to add a new dimension of content on this site and share our challenges and experiences in adding a little one to our busing adventures!
We have already started discussing how our current setup will work with a bambino in tow and what changes we may need to make. We’ve been researching day care options if we go that route and have been thinking about how that will work into our choice of transportation too. I am somewhat comforted by the several families I see using the bus now, but I am well aware of the problems that the current system has for them too. So welcome to the new year (half a month late), and tune in as my energy increases and I update this site with new information and a new personal view!

Congrats! This should add an interesting and helpful perspective on using public transit in CR.

Samantha:
Congratulations on your pregnancy; children are lots of fun (for about 12 years). With our babies, my wife and I entered a whole new way of looking at transit in the 1970s and 80s. Getting a stroller on the DC Metro was our first glimpse of how wheelchair accessbility worked back then. Safety thoughts entered our decision making with babies and small children as well as when can child navigate around Ames on her own. It will be lots of fun watching how you process transit and your child(ren).
