A Rural Public Transit Odyssey

For folks in the Bay Area, a challenge: Do a loop around the bay by non-commuter bus only. That means you can use skip-stop routes like Muni's 9R, but you cannot use routes like AC Transit's OX line. You also cannot use the Dumbarton Express, since it cuts off the South Bay.

It's an interesting experience, and it (or some portion of it) is one that many folks do every workday.

For less of an interesting experience, try taking a connecting trip on the VTA Light Rail in the South Bay. I remember taking a few 7 mile trips and it often took 3 hours each way. If you're not lugging anything it's seriously faster to walk.
