Transportation Dilemma

<p>I was planning to enroll in a nearby college to take a course this summer. I had it all planned out, and my parents were willing to pay for it. </p>

<p>Then I realized, no one in my family was willing to take me there. It's twice a week, from 6pm to 10pm. My parents can't: one has to work and the other has a fear of highways and driving at night, and they won't let me go by myself on public transportation (bus, train) out of fear I'll get kidnapped, etc. at 10pm. Plus their attitude is "Psh, why do you want to take a college course when you can do that in college?" I don't have any friends that will be available (they're all going to residential programs). </p>

<p>Any advice or suggestions on what I should do? I was wondering if perhaps I could get like a bus service to get me there but have no idea how or how much the cost would be.</p>

<p>Couldn't you take a taxi or something?</p>

<p>No, I don't live in the city, so there are no taxis (sigh, if only it were that easy!). I have more of a suburban surrounding.</p>

<p>No cab companies? Most places run cabs.</p>

<p>If that doesn't pan out, then I'm afraid you're stuck. And I find your parents' fear of you on buses pretty archaic. Let them know that few people get kidnapped while riding a bus.</p>
