I hate this whole VTA situation

The last year of attending I took the light rail to get to school since there's one across the street from my apartment. Since the whole strike I've had to borrow my parents car for an extended time and pay for garage parking. Today I got a ticket because I'm someone with really bad ADHD and forgot to pay the permit. I hate that I'm being forced into driving just to attend school when the whole VTA thing worked so much better for my situation. I'm not mad at the people striking, just at the situation and how stupid my brain is.
