Yeah, I won't lie, I was more nervous taking the bus here in Chicago than I was the L. It was the whole 'pay when boarding' thing and the fact that the bus was stopped to pick ME up so everyone would be staring at me to see where I sat(lol, of course, that's not the case, but anxiety can be insane). Then, would my bus actually go where it was supposed to? How would it know when to stop!?

Yeah, all dumb problems to have in one's head. But when you take the L, its swipe your card way before you board, get on, wait for your stop, which is nicely mapped, and then you're there.
