i want to be earth-friendly ... but public transportation sucks so much
the circulator bus used to be my all-time favorite. it was sooo fast, it came every 10 minutes and it was relatively empty.
ever since the route "enhancement" was put into place last week, it's been hell in a red box on wheels. let's forget all the people who totally freak out when the bus veers off the original route, but focus on the riff-raff that ride now. since the change is basically the incorporation of another bus, the number of people on the damn thing has more than doubled. THOSE BASTARDS.
but i can deal with that. what i can't deal with was yesterday, when a 20 minute bus ride actually took an hour, and when it was 75 degrees out, they inexplicably had the heat on. all this only encouraged the crammed people in the back to yell "DRIVER! HEAT'S ON! WHY THE HELL'S THE HEAT'S ON?!" meanwhile the anorexic woman in front of me is explaining that the bus driver isn't going to listen because the drivers in this city are crazy--that they kill people, and i should go read it in the newspaper. which begs the question of why she's on the bus in the first place.
this morning wasn't quite as bad, but some mascara-heavy woman yapping on her cell phone set down her wendy's drink, which at the next jerky movement of the bus (read: every 78 seconds) toppled over and spilled sprite literally all over the floor. since the bus is moving (slowly, yet still whiplash-inducing--a feat only imagined in the city) the shit got everywhere, including my fabric shoes. DUMBASS BITCH.
safely at work now, i find respite in my blog, and in the fact that i'm about to microwave me up some leftovers. life is good.
