Public Transportation Experiment (PTE) - Visiting the Citrus Connection

Perhaps as the final 'wrap' to my public transit experiment I swung by the Citrus Connection office to exchange my useless Ride Picker pass. If you remember from my wrap-up post I had purchased a Ride Picker pass in Winter Haven that turned out to be useless on the Lakeland Citrus Connection. I was told I had to visit the main office to exchange the pass for a new one.

Later that day during lunch my friend Barry asked if they recognized me at the Citrus Connection office. They didn't. He then asked if anybody from their office ever contacted me regarding my experiment. They haven't. Looking at the web server logs though some people from the Board of County Commissioners and the Polk Fire Department have stopped by, in addition to a few hundred other folks from around the country.
