I packed my camera, marker, transit passes and some food in my camera bag and left home at 4:20 (heh). I walked over to the bus stop, and waited for whatever the first bus was. Luckily I got 1505, one of the new buses my local transit agency just started running a few weeks ago or so, and this is my first time on one of these.
