Looks like I will be surrounding myself with Olympic related activities for the remainder of the month as the Olympics have begun here in Vancouver. I’m actually very interested to see how people and businesses will be affected as well. One thing that has constantly come up is that if you were even thinking of driving a car during the Olympics time that you should simply ditch it for public transportation.
So, I was anticipating that things like the buses would be jammed pack. I guess the public transportation officials did too good of a job as while traveling to a celebration site there were so many buses that for a long period of time I was the only person on the bus which I thought was kind of crazy as you can see here:
It’s kind of cool too as in terms of saving money I get to use the system for free since I have an accreditation pass of sort. Guess it was a good thing to get that Visa card too as virtually all of the merchants within the Olympic venues only take Visa because of the sponsorship. Let’s see if I end up spending more because of all these events.
