Yep, we’re still at the University Area Transfer Center.

And Debra Catlett has this to say: “I used to live in Chicago and rode the bus there all the time. They called it the CTA - Chicago Transit Authority.”

Now she’s all about HART.

I live in Carrollwood and work in a nursing home there,” she says. She’s here this morning, about 10 a.m., for a doctor’s appointment. Her preferred method of travel is, of course, the bus.

“I’ve been here for four years, and that’s how long I’ve been riding these buses,” she says a few minutes before boarding her ride.

“I rely on the bus,” she says.

Her only complaint: Younger people who ride the bus who don’t treat older people with respect.
