“I am riding the bus to the mall. I work at Belk. There is only one bus going to the mall and sometimes I have to walk to the mall on Saturdays. It takes about 30 or 45 minutes. I wait at this bus stop about 15 minutes and there is no place to sit. If it rains, I get wet and have to go to work wet. If I didn’t have the bus, I would have to pay someone to take me. Some people charge $15-20 to drive you. That is a couple of hours of pay for me.”
