tvordljB... as in Bus-terfuck
Today's adventures with Metro transit...
I've gone to the inconvenience of getting up and out earlier to catch the 6:40 bus because the 7:00 bus only shows up a few days a week, Friday not being one of them.
Today the 6:40 didn't show up.
for fuck's sake
But i thought, perhaps i just missed it as i thought i might have been one or two minutes later than usual and if it came bang on time or a minute or two early...
I waited until about 6:50 and went back inside the lobby doors to wait for the next one which i didn't think would come anyway as it's the no-show 7 and was prepared to wait for the 7:20.
You guessed it, at 6:55, the bus comes around the corner!
I scoot out.
I don't know whether it was a very, very late bus or a very early bus. It caught a few others off guard and they were running for the stop. These are the people that usually catch the 7:00 bus who probably would have been waiting in vain as usual. I gave it up as an exercise in frustration that i don't need. Or so i thought.
Metro Transit can't afford the bad publicity these next two weeks while the Canada Games are going on in Halifax. It might be time to contact the councillor for my district.
