I'm ion a bus

Wtf the driver just pulled over on the side of the road and threatened to kick a lady off. Now we are at a rest area for 20 min.

WHAT THE FUCK?! What did she do?

So sorry Tza. Sounds awful!

It's like you're in a thriller that's the opposite of Speed.

I have no idea. Probably she asked him why the a/c is broken.

Really though, we're already like 2 hours behind and you wanna stop for 20 min in the middle of nowhere??

Next time I will pay the $5 extra for bolt. My loltimore bus on mon is bolt :) tho my sister's last bolt experience was like 2.5 hours late. wait there won't be a next time I'm moving!

Now the woman is sitting behind me to be away from the driver. It appears she may have been calling him names like 'dumbass' for going out of the way (he took some fucked up route) to her friend on the phone. He got mad, she is pissed that he was 'eavesdropping' on her conversation and that people should be able to say whatever they want to say and that he should 'show some more professionalism.'

Now we are stuck in traffic again and watching a movie called 'dirty laundry'.

Having used Megabus on both sides of the Atlantic it is amazing how superior the American version is, apart from the bad movies that blare out at you.

Seriously, going around the New Jersey turnpike at 7.45am on a Monday morning and the driver decides to put Speed on at maximum volume.

This movie had a character asking a cab driver to turn on the a/c in the opening scene and the whole bus just kinda groaned.

lol i once took a (greyhound) bus from dc to pittsburgh that began by heading south to alexandria, then got on the beltway. then the driver got off at tyson's corner and asked us if anyone knew how to get to pittsburgh. which i did, so i directed him for the next 250 miles.

u mad for taking a bus on the friday afternoon of a long weekend, btw

I know. I thought leaving at 130 might give me an advantage but no. Also we are finally (I think) crossing over to Philly. 4 hours after boarding. And just in time for rush hour.

This movie also contains the phrase 'freak fat stripper accident.' Halp.

And now the movie has stopped working, too.

This would be a great time for a flask.

I don't even like a/c at all.

with u. glad ur moving here because there's so little use for it

what kind of bus is this a hell bus?!

i hope they are paying you to use it

It is a hell bus. Also the top emergency exit holes are open for air which either makes the sun blind people or makes super annoying noises whenever we go faster than 10 mph, which is rare.

Hell Bus sounds like some kind of Wesley Willis song.

hahaha otm, i think he did have a song about a bus?

oh yeah it was called RETARD BUS

wesley willis otm

no ok he had like 100 songs about buses and one was called "freak out hell bus" i think that's the right song 4 u tehresa

It's like he was some kind of prophet or something!

or maybe "hell greyhound bus ride" loooooooool

At 11:20 AM on Saturday, April 5, 1997, I caught the Greyhound bus to Chicago, Illinois
The Greyhound bus left Des Moines, Iowa at 11:30 AM
It was an eight-hour profanity demon hellride without music
At 7:30 PM, the Greyhound bus arrived at the Chicago bus station
I then got off the intercity bus and yelled like a stupid fool

Scwhhh dat's a yell

Wait I did it wrong aaagghh

Imagine if Wesley Willis had a twitter

Dude just decided to make a 15 point turn (including multiple curb hits) instead of just finding the right way back to the highway.

I am on a bus but this one is ok I think

I am on a bus. the driver is already warning that traffic will be bad.

hell bus rides again

He seems really nice and gave a talk about how men using the bathroom should out the seat down to respect the females on the bus!

i am on a bus. there is wifi. i am living in the future and loving it.

liveblogging route 95

still in the city!!

who is on ur bus?

really sad to find out that we still have buses in the future

bus is pretty empty... a few college students, a pair of older women, a middle aged couple. no screaming kids.

what are you watching in the future

Best movie I ever saw on a bus was Speed, but I told that story upthread.

When it's late, bus drivers announce where all the social services type places are when approaching stops. I just transfered from a bus on which I was the only person not going to one of them :(

i am on a bus back to new york.

ian ion a buss

Do u has a beer on the bus?? Clearly u has wireless, which is pretty amazing to an elderly like me.

wifi is new on bus as of the last year or so iirc.
i don't have a beer, but i have a bag of beef jerky!

I get cravings for beef jerky but chewing the really dry stuff makes my jaw hurt like mad which then leads to a headache. This makes jerky a mixed blessing imo but a blessing nonetheless.

Went on a bus trip once to the Upper Peninsula of MI during which we stopped at like an Indian Trading Post(probably tm) that sold smoked whitefish. It was delicious. The bus smelled like a hunting camp after that.

hellbus 2

electric boogaloo?

i am on a bus and have a seat to myself at least as far as newark, new jersey. this is going to be very bleak. i transfer in winston salem, long layover in richmond in the morning. wish me luck.

drinking jim beam. brought dvds, but not enough.

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!

I'm ion a bus

(ion a Yo! Bus to be precise!)

my phone, with the link to my ticket in it, died while I was in line and the bus was about to start boarding!! Thank HEAVENS I had a portable battery pack, my goodness

Hey, I'm also ion a bus! I'm B44ing it at this very moment

This particular route is an Express route where you buy a ticket but you don't actually show it to the driver. You just board using any of the 3 doors. Occasionally the police step on and check for tickets and some people get in trouble.

I was on a yobus earlier today!

oh word, where?

Philly. Back to nyc tmr

Oh I am going to ny and back to philly tomorrow! My friend wants to get dinner in chinatown, maybe szechuan. Where should I take her?

99 favor taste for hot pot (good on a cold night)

Famous Sichuan is okay

There's a new place that opened by me called hot something it's on Bowery either grand or Hester

Beijing pop kabob has good DUMPLINGS! imo (more traditionally northern, might be underwhelming at first if you're used to prosperity potstickers but ultimately they're much closer to what I grew up with)

Heard lines can be long at 99 favor taste so get some rezzies

I've never done hot pot before!

It is a traet in the wintor

THERES KNE OF YE AT EVERY SINGLE FUCKING STOP

from the driver, as I got on, just now

ONE

I got ten stops to ready a parting shot better than "you're a cranky old fucking cunt" so speak now or forever hold yr peace etc

"Yes, but in the morning I'll be sober

and I'll come after you"

Empty threat, nobody but nobody follows a Dublin bus route anywhere

I'm ion one of these rn. Didn't even know about this in advance, literally just had to get a 38 anyway. Utterly thrilling ngl
