I have a feeling we will finally be seeing many more of these arrangements to the more populated areas soon.

Ypsi-Dearborn - I'm in.

I think it's a great idea. I've been taking the bus for almost 4 years, gimme my music and I'm fine. Get one of those Sony Readers at Borders (they sure could use it), the iPod of books. Personal time you never seem to get enough of to listen to a CD or read a book. Yes, it's with other people but you can do your own thing and it's not like you're making lunches for the kids on the bus or train, hence personal time.
