Get thee to a bussery

That's right kids. Take the bus today.

Apparently Washington Mutual is sponsoring bus fares today, which means that today's bus rides are free! So if you're contemplating heading out for lunch, or heading down to Canes for the Hold Steady concert this fine evening, give the old public transit a try (the 8 or 9 from Old Town will get you to that last one).

And remember, Google Maps now has an integrated transit feature for San Diego. Use it to get directions and click on the "take public transit" option to see what bus to take and when. Use the "options" feature to change the departure or arrival time.

My $2.25 savings is going toward a pint of Green Flash at the Liars Club before the show. What will you do with $2.25?
