Let’s Talk About CARTA

Heather @ April 22, 2008 # 3 Comments

Ericsomething:
The bus service in Charleston is terrible. Stinks. Unspeakable. That’s the bad news. The good news is that it’s still a major upgrade over what it once was. A few years ago the service was so bad that routes made no sense, transfers meant sitting for 45 minutes in a neighborhood no sane person would […]

Have you heard of Jott?
Ian mentioned it at our last meet up on Bowen’s Island.
Today I found another blogger, Eric, using it for remote posting.
