To the bus driver of the 20 at the mall: The two had just gotten in and you were still sitting there for almost another full minute, but you shook your head at the poor guy sprinting to catch you and refused to open the door because you’d already closed it. It was cold out and you definitely sat there long enough that he had plenty of time to get on before you departed. Was it really necessary to be such an asshole? —Calamity Malice

These Metro Transit stories bring a smile to my face. For $2 that’s what Metro Transit gives you.
$2.25

for the length of time this has taken to write, 1,000 people have just been transported to somewhere, from someplace.
I know, painey. *sad rawk*
Guess who I met yesterday, guys? PDG! This bus bitch reminded me of that. Not because he’s this particular bus driver (he’s very nice indeed), but because it involved buses and drivers.
$2.25….what a rip off.
Price goes up, service goes down.
You MET him? The infamous PDG?! How??
I knew who he was, but he didn’t know who I was until I left him a clue and he picked up on it and we happened to cross paths at the mumford terminal yesterday and he came up and introduced himself 🙂
What? WHAT?? I’ve been wanting to meet PDG for ages. I keep looking and looking at my drivers, and there’s one guy I almost think might be… but how do you drop a clue without sounding totally psycho! I mean, I wasn’t even brave enough to say Hi to Ivan and I knew exactly who he was.
That is so cool. Does he look like a PDG??
What what whaaatt? This baffles me.
pdg=plastic driver guy. he is our resident good guy bus driver
Now Heathro, you sounded like you knew what was going on! ha ha. The sarcasm escaped me. 🙂
I date a bus driver, and know a lot more, and still haven’t met that motherfucker.
I knew what was going on.. There was no sarcasm.. I’m confused!!!! Waaahhhhh
Jerkbag? How old are you…
Actually, he doesn’t look much like plastic at all. I can’t reveal anymore because he promised to keep my identity a secret, so I must do the same. haha.
Really nice guy though. Not like the grumpy drivers at all.
Aww Britisharecoming 🙁 You may have met him and not known?
I don’t think so. I have a few drivers on a mission to find out who he is, and they’re failing me.
Fack.
