I'm go to go ahead and bet the OP lives in New York City, or some other dense urban core with good public transportation.

Not even close. I should have taken that bet. I live 7 miles out of a small town surrounded by cornfields, almost 60 miles southwest of Chicago.

I had to take a bus to school, which is why my idea said:
