I usually keep my complaints about Metro Transit pretty private, among my friends and myself. I know Metro Transit has a hard job to do. I also recognize the impossibility of always being on schedule. However, I just waited for 45 minutes in the cold rain at a stop with no bench for the #1 bus. Which is supposed to come every 15 minutes. Standing on my arthritic knee, which, incidentally was inflamed due to the weather. Painful? Yes. Even moreso when the bus was so crowded with other people that had accumulated during the delay that I had to stand. Between the hours of 4 and 6, going from downtown to Mumford or vice versa is always a hassle. Some of us really depend on you guys, Metro Transit. Please find a more efficient way to deal with delays. —Achy Breaky Knee
