For $500 a year, hopefully you get to ride a luxury bus. Although a bus is
always just a bus.

So obviously Eric pays the $500.  At that rate, $20K salaries are $50 
dues and you gotta drop below $4,000/yr before you meet the minimum.  
Of course this shoots their supposed claims of paid membership all to 
heck.

That's not entirely true.  My dad retired in 1996, but until he retired he
worked as an engineer in downtown Los Angeles.  He took the bus every day from
his house in Studio City.  We are white, and he made a very decent living.  He
just preferred the bus.  He hates to drive in rush-hour traffic.  On the bus he
could relax and read.
