I'm ion a bus

though my time will be spent mostly in bristol & perhaps barrington.

i have chocolate covered peanuts & a big bottle of water.

corey and i we are ion a bus. The bus is in Camden going to south jersey suburbia. One time a lady ion this bus handed me her baby

ion a bus to DC, south of Freehold NJ, one o them doubledeck Mega jobs. Saving my apple for 1230.

There are two-story BUSES?? In this country, I mean. Those things must have to slow down to like 10 mph to take the slightest corner. Good luck! Fingers crossed for no rollovers!

looks like the usual 3.5-hr trip.

finished my water, had a pleasant whiz. Megabus > Chinatown bus

I'm ion a bus talking w this guy whose friend is an "up and coming" rapper named A$AP Rocky

I can't even

adieu Philadelphia

I mean it's p difficult to make an argument for them aside from "they were super convenient and super cheap" but those are still pretty big to me! Also I'm scared this elimination of competition will make Bolt and Mega way more expensive

what's Mega btwn NY & PHI, $25?

and why don't you and your bf come visit, then?

Something like that (for now). And we keep trying to but we have 0 common days off!

Hard not to speculate that the big operators pushed for this action, but at the same time, the chinatown buses were somewhat shady.

I guess I believe in theory that people should have basic protections whether they like them or not, and I feel like it's prob the case that the curbside services overbalanced on "value vs safety" a while ago. But otoh, omg how dare people contract for a service they desire at the price they desire, even accounting for statistically insignificant risks that are probably the same as letting your 18-yo cousin drive you to the supermarket?

i took a c'town bus to pittsburgh before xmas -- at the harrisburg stop (a chinese restaurant in a strip mall on the outskirts), the pa state cops were waiting and did a 30-minute inspection of lights, tires, etc.

they eventually let us go on, but i never learned if we had passed or if had to pay a fine or something. anyway i suppose it's been in the works for a while

xp to be fair, there was that one-month period a few years ago where there were like three fatal ctown bus crashes all in a row

i hope mitt suitably decries this blatant job-killing government power grab. after enough fatalities, surely the invisible hand would provide the proper corrective, were one necessary

about 110 mi from chicago, i think

lotsa corn in w illinois

I'm ion a Greyhound to Miami. We just stopped in a town called LaBelle.

Passed slightly north of Laureldale, PA, holla. Ion a bus.

Oh dear jesus nnnooooooooo.

Chainsmoking was invented for dealing with 90-minute delays, u know.

I am on the greyhound & just crossed into TN. I have vodka and red bulls.

i am taking a bus soon, v excited abt it

It's a 3-3.5 hr trip; what albums from 2014 or otherwise should I put on my phone to listen to??

I'm ion a bus that broke down and we've been sitting in a parking lot in Baltimore for well over an hour and apparently the new bus to whisk us off to DC won't be here for ANOTHER hour

So I'm not going to get to DC til like 2 am

Still no new bus.

are there people you can talk to? I met some guy tonight who was telling me about John Bolton's mistress.

I'm too sleepy to talk

I texted my "friend" saying I wished he was here so I could sleep on his shoulder but I accidentally texted Hoos instead. Sorry Hoos! I'm sure your shoulder's nice and all too.

Hoo's shoulds, is right. I'm too awake to talk, thank god.

Same thing happened to me last weekend, Stevie! But wait was only an hour.

I'm ion a bus. the great British institution that is the rail replacement service from South London hinterland of purley (is this derived from purlieu?). it's pissing with rain. children are crying, couples are snapping at each other. living the bank holiday weekend dream.

Bolt from NY to DC over 90 mins late bcz of 9/11 museum-dedication ceremony (THX BUSH & BUSHALIKE). They sent a Greyhound for us; at least the WiFi is good, and we're speeding. Also getting a refund apparently ($15).

Yo!
