To all you single-occupancy vehicle folks, I would love it if you could ditch your car at the Mumford bus station (there’s free parking!) and catch the bus to your destination on the peninsula. You would love it too. It would save you gas money, and make the whole system work a lot better. Imagine how fast the buses could deliver people around town if there were less cars in the way! So fast. So fast and lovely.
Isn’t your car lonely with just you in it? Wouldn’t you rather take the bus and chat up a bearded babe or a long legged lady on your way to work?

“…chat up a bearded babe”
Yup, the Captain’s getting so lonely he’ll soon be taking to the Metro Transit dating scene, where he’ll hopefully score some action from a hot Dwarf babe. >;D
Captain, I vote you go chill at Starbucks with a good book and a latte to pick up chicks first before you attempt Metro Transit dating… that could get dangerous.
It’s rare to hear people talking on the bus…
usually it’s just listening to some idiot with their ‘It must have been love’ shit music blasting way too loudly.
You know who you are, asshole 21 rider.
Starbucks, eh? Is there a particular one that you’d recommend?
I DO have some books that need reading, and I DO enjoy my hot beverages.
This seems way more legit than dating bus dwarfs.
Maybe you’re onto something, PurpleFire…
Isn’t this closer to a Bitch, than a Love?
I is confrused.
And do it up, Captain. Get yourself a sidekick!

So you are saying that the bus schedule will work around my schedule when I have massive amounts of errands to run? Or that I could access a bus at a moments notice to do numerous pick ups for work? Believe it or not people actually use theirs cars to work and public transit and car pooling isn’t an option for all of us!
I drive alone every day and i LOVE it. Its my quiet time, my reflection time, my gratitude time. I also get motion sickness on busses. Its an easy choice for me.
OP – go spay yourself with a curling iron, and try to lay off the bath salts for a while, you dirty, stupid , fucking hippy
bearded babe? what the hell is that A Pig with a Goatee.

I recommend the one on Lacewood. Great staff, but you gotta get there at the right time to get a comfy chair 🙂
Also, the bus is not convenient for everyone.
“You know who you are, asshole 21 rider.”
Oh shit. I thought those in-ear earbuds didn’t let those sweet sweet tunes escape. My bad.

Pretty much, Uncle Ivan. I used to be able to tolerate the bus — it was a’ight with my ipod and some tunes, but by the end of my bus riding times, I was genuinely ready to cut that shit out. I actually used to prefer taking the bus instead of driving because I could listen to some tunes and daydream without having actually pay attention, but fuck that shit. Why take the bus when you can sleep in an extra hour and get home an hour earlier? An hour earlier means an extra hour’s worth of an evening nap. Plus mah car has heated seats.
Fuck the bus.
“I recommend the one on Lacewood. Great staff, but you gotta get there at the right time to get a comfy chair :)”
Since I’m a fat ass these days, I’m only familiar with their drive-thru staff. heh heh. They get an A+ nonetheless.
If it was you, I’d have stopped it.
As the bus was horrifically packed, as per usual, I was unable to ascertain said dewshbag for the public shaming that would inevitably follow.
“Fuck the bus.”
Fuckin-A goddam right.!
I take it from necessity, not fondness. I don’t like the people I wait with, the people I ride with or the Mogadishithole neighborhoods I transit through. I don’t want to converse with them, get to know them, or even acknowledge their presence on this fosslized coprolite we exist on. I’m not prepared to visit the local shylocks in order to buy, fuel, or insure a car but I’ll be goddamned if I’m not going to gaze longlingly at those fortunate folks in their blessed solitude. It’s like my job; that part of my life that I willingly exchange in order to scrape some decency out of what’s left. I do it but may God or Satan help the pious little fuckwit that tries to tell me I should enjoy it because they’ll get sod all mercy from me.
I suppose I’m a self-avowed hippie in this. In the non-bike season, I park at the mall and walk to work. Or is it that I’m too gorram cheap to pay for parking? Meh.
“gorram” – Awesome
Well played
