latoboy,

 Thanks for the suggestion. I have been traveling in metro service for more than one year to St. Paul area and Ridgedale area. I know there are some places where bus service is very poor. But the thing is that I am concerned in finding affordable accomodation so that I don't have to worry about buying a car. I don't have a license right now and its kinda expensive to have a car! I don't mind traveling 2 hours in bus.

Thanks anyways. If you have any other suggestion keep posting.

:) Cheers,

RG
