Reduced Privacy

This week I had a private medical appointment. Taking public transit to the hospital made this, not so private.

I took the bus there escorted by my very good friend and fellow car-less cohort.
After my appointment the nurses seemed dismayed at my plan to take a bus home. They insisted a taxi was better. In fact when my escort returned to take me home the nurses did their best to influence him.

We took a taxi.

It did not feel anymore private to me but was marginally faster. I would have preferred to take the bus and with the difference in cash get sushi for lunch.
