Seattle has new reloadable rfid ORCA cards for transit. 1/2 of drivers don't want to deal with the reader, 1/2 of readers are "out of service" = many free rides so far this month.

I'm on a bus!

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 18:18 (fourteen years ago) link

This bus was 30 min late and it has so far taken us 30 min to get to the Lincoln tunnel oy!

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 18:32 (fourteen years ago) link

The a/c went out and I don't know why but we're in traffic somewhere near cranbury and not even on the interstate.

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 19:38 (fourteen years ago) link

Seems considerably less awesome than previously mentioned bus-trip. My condolences.

But not someone who should be dead anyway (Laurel), Friday, 22 May 2009 19:51 (fourteen years ago) link

I'm eyein' a bus: the one in front of us whose a/c probably works.

Wouldn't mind it is we weren't so stop and go. Usually I don't even like a/c at all.

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link

I'm heading home on the damen bus

am0n, Friday, 22 May 2009 20:52 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link

WHAT THE FUCK?! What did she do?

So sorry Tza. Sounds awful!

TAT THY SAD EAGLE (ENBB), Friday, 22 May 2009 21:25 (fourteen years ago) link

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

sussing out the Slick Hustler (I DIED), Friday, 22 May 2009 21:28 (fourteen years ago) link

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!

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link

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.'

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 21:41 (fourteen years ago) link

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

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 21:45 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

James Mitchell, Friday, 22 May 2009 21:49 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 21:52 (fourteen years ago) link

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

mookieproof, Friday, 22 May 2009 21:56 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 22:02 (fourteen years ago) link

And now the movie has stopped working, too.

This would be a great time for a flask.

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 22:06 (fourteen years ago) link

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

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

jergins, Friday, 22 May 2009 22:12 (fourteen years ago) link

what kind of bus is this a hell bus?!

fantazy land (harbl), Friday, 22 May 2009 22:13 (fourteen years ago) link

i hope they are paying you to use it

fantazy land (harbl), Friday, 22 May 2009 22:13 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 22:16 (fourteen years ago) link

Hell Bus sounds like some kind of Wesley Willis song.

James Mitchell, Friday, 22 May 2009 22:18 (fourteen years ago) link

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

fantazy land (harbl), Friday, 22 May 2009 22:18 (fourteen years ago) link

oh yeah it was called RETARD BUS

fantazy land (harbl), Friday, 22 May 2009 22:22 (fourteen years ago) link

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

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 22:24 (fourteen years ago) link

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

fantazy land (harbl), Friday, 22 May 2009 22:25 (fourteen years ago) link

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 22:32 (fourteen years ago) link

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

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 23:48 (fourteen years ago) link

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

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

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.
