If you have the time it sounds like a cheap way to go, but certainly not for everyone @:-)
i have no idea what you mean
i'm white collar and i took this bus into downtowntown every two weeks for a year and pocketed taxi per diem. comfortable bus, smooth ride, air conditioned to s--- and while not on time, it was extremely reliable
yes the 102 goes thru gunspoint but the third worlder in me scoffs at thinking taking metro in a first world city is dangerous and not to be suggested, especially in a budget traveler forum
i left check bags in the cargo hold and napped in the back and guess what, every time my stuff was still there when i hit milam and texas
metro suffers significantly due to mere stigmatization
and btw the 40 and 50 run 2 blocks from my house in eastwood
i'd love to take you for the best breakfast tacos and ice houses
