I expect a shitty ride, in a bus that has broken air conditioning, puke and shit on the back seats, a cranky driver who slams his breaks on and an old woman who is wearing so much perfume... it covers shit, puke and body odors. That is my expectations. So imagine my delight when none of that occurs. :D
As someone who lives in The Beaches, they should be posting this ad at every Streetcar stop. There is also a demographic that rides the 143 Express Bus to downtown. You have to pay an extra fare to ride it. It should be noted that "Express" is a very loose term, it sometimes gets you there maybe 10 minutes earlier than the Streetcar would.
The express bus has a regular crowd on there that all know each other. I sometimes take it when I am running late. Many of the people in the express bus seem to think it's different than all the other buses, even though it's the exact same bus as all other bus routes. Some get upset when there is no room to place their extra bags anywhere. I often times hear people say "we like to call this the 'executive' bus."
All us other peasants ride the dark dank streetcar, but for three dollars extra you can ride this other bus that supposedly gets you to where your going slightly faster with a bunch of pompous asses.

ReplyDeleteI expect unexplained delays and 'shuttle buses' that never show up
ReplyDelete..and I expect a 1/2 hour wait in the rain to have 4 bumper against bumper buses show up all for the same route
