Does this bus ride make me look young?

So I'm about to hop on the bus for a short run to Subway and there is this female standing at the bus stop. I try not to glance her way because females in Chicago always think someone is trying to pick them up and I don't want any trouble. Next thing I know she clears her throat. If it was a dude I would have thought he was trying to get my attention but once again I don't want any misunderstanding so I ignore her. Just before the bus gets to our stop she asks me how much is the fare. To be exact she asks if the fare is a dollar. I tell her that I have a pass and that I believe it to be $2.25 but I admit that the $1 fare may be for students only. She smiles and says "Then I'm a student today" and hops on the bus and pays $1. The driver did not bat an eye. Now I know that these hard living kids today all look like slutty, alcoholic drugged out adults but this lady looked to be easily in her 30's and nothing like a High schooler to me. I admit that I could have been off by a decade or two but you can pretty much tell who is young by the time of day, the way they're dressed and how loud they become. I call shenanigans.
