People who take ten freaking minutes once they get on the bus to fish out their change/wallet. What did you think you were going to need once you got on the bus idiots? When you see the bus coming get that shit ready, and that way you don’t have to waste everyone else’s time. —Tired of Waiting

I kind of agree with this bitch. Actually I more than kind of agree. Have your pass/change/ticket ready ffs. And if you don’t, let the rest of us who do go through! And why is it always the folks who’ve been waiting at the stop who have to dig through their shit to get their change/ticket/pass? Shit, I rip my ticket off and put it in my pocket/carry it before I leave my apartment!
I’ve missed transfers before because people couldn’t get their shit together and sat there trying to count out change and dig for an extra 50 cents or whatever because the driver refused to move without this dipshit paying and wouldn’t kick them off the bus. One time this dummy was offered a ticket so we could get going and she wouldn’t put it in the slot and kept looking for money. I finally yelled “PUT THE TICKET IN THE FARE BOX SOME OF US HAVE TRANSFERS TO MAKE.” Good grief.
On the other side of things — just because you have a pass doesn’t mean you can trample all over me when I’m getting my transfer and then give me the stink eye when I proceed and bump into you becuase you couldn’t wait your damn turn. This happened on sunday and yes, I took the seat the asshat line jumper had his eye on. Just cuz you got a upass don’t mean you special, jerkwad.
*deepbreath* ok I think I’m done now.
PK – I’m thinking we need to collaborate on something like “The Zombie Survival Guide” – for Metro Transit users. Screeeeee!
HAHAHAHA, totally.
I agree completely with this bitch. Unless you have to run to get the bus because you are a little late, you have MORE than enough time to have your fare or your ticket ready.
Here is an amazing concept… you know you’re going to get the bus, prepare when you are leaving wherever you are! Put the ticket, your pass, change in an easily accessible pocket. It really isn’t rocket science….. stop being stupid and wasting everyone’s time. Those people that don’t have their shit ready are likely the same people that bitch about busses not being on time. It’s YOUR OWN FAULT you bunch of fucktards………
I completely agree with this. It’s so frustrating when people are at the bus stop and then when they get on, they start digging through their pockets for a thousand pennies to pay for their fare.
I think the only time I haven’t been ready with my pass was when I was late leaving my apartment and had to run to catch the bus.
Other cities have cards you scan/swipe instead of using cash. How come Mesozoic Transit doesn’t?
People would still cock that up somehow.
people’ll still be digging for their swipe cards, sebastard. That’s the whole point: people who don’t have their fare, in whatever form, ready to go when they get on the bus.
“Mesozoic Transit” – LOL Seb. >: )
🙂
I agree with this bitch! Why not fish it out when you’re standing and waiting for the 13 minutes Mesozoic Transit is late?? Geez, peeps.
I agree with this bitch.
It’s not only busses, but stores, fast food places, and just about everywhere else where money is changed. Add to that people who are not ready at the time you say you’ll pick them up or late meeting you, etc. Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
wait til they implant that neat little ” big brother”, chip in your hand o.p. will work the same as a debit card, just swipe hand over scanner and viola. think i kid you, check the net for the governments newest ideas.

check out that site for the ideas.
welcome to the world of big fucking brother, folks.
These fucks drive me mad too. I also want to run down those that walk on the bus and ask “Does this bus go to …..” when they clearly knew fucking well where it was going because they DIDN’T ask that question to the drivers of the six other busses who were NOT going there. Arrgh.
Has anyone ever been on the bus with the driver that I have labled the bus nazi. He is a complete dick to everyone and more than half the people that go to get on his bus he doesn’t even let on because there is a scratch or a tear in their little sticker. I have even seen him just drive right by groups of like 10-20 people. I hate that driver.
I agree with this bitch.. you always seem some stunned person waiting for the bus.. they watch it come down the street, they watch it pull up to the stop, the watch people get off, and yet they STILL don’t have their bus ticket, money, pass, etc, out by the time they get onto the bus.
And yet they are often the ones that are first in line to scramble aboard the bus, then hold everyone else up while they dig for their fare or transfer. Also, a similar thing with those who ask the driver inane, or insane – they just get right in the doorway ahead of others and tend to block it instead of letting people who know where they are going get on first. Unless they get beat out by the baby buggy brigade – another circle of transit hell that has been noted in here before.
Part of my previous post should have read – those who ask the driver inane, or insane, questions …..
