When I first thought about exploring Australia, I pictured rainforests, beaches, wildlife and all the incredible natural environments I would get to experience. I never expected that one of the things that would become such a big part of my Australian adventure would be public transportation!
Since arriving in Brisbane, I have become very familiar with the city's buses. To get to the University of Queensland, I take two buses each way, which means my commute takes about an hour in each direction. That's two hours on a bus every day! While that might sound like a lot of time, I have actually grown to enjoy it. It has become a part of my daily routine and a chance to slow down between classes and everything else going on.
One of my favorite things about taking public transportation is getting to experience everyday life in Brisbane. I get to see people heading to work, students traveling to school, and families going about their day. I have also had many little interactions with locals along the way. One thing I have noticed is how friendly and kind people are on public transportation.
