As many may know, I'm home-schooled. But I can't do ALL of my classes at home, (EX: gym) So I have to go to school for a hour. But because my mom is working a lot nowadays, she can't exactly drive me. So I have gotten used to taking the dreaded PUBLIC TRANSIT. But today brings a new story...

Normally, the bus arrives at my place (literally, as there is a bus stop at the end of my driveway) and it is around 5 minutes late. I'm thinking: "Ok, Maybe if the drivers steps on it I'll still be able to make it to my class on time." The only problem: I have to transfer... Twice! When I arrive at my first stop, I see my next bus, and you guessed it: It left just as I arrived.
Now I'm thinking: "Ok, good thing I have a backup bus!" So I wait... And wait... Until it finally comes. In case you couldn't tell, there is a theme here: Late buses. So if you are thinking that the backup bus was late...

It was late.
It was too late. If i got on it, it would have been pointless, as it arrives at the next stop at 10:58am. And because It was 3 1/2 minutes late, There was NO WAY I would have made it to the next stop before 11:00. So I just stuck around and waited for the bus to come back and take me home.

Moral of the story: Always wait 1 1/2 months after you see a training bus before using the buses again.


Do you have an interesting public transit story to tell?

I don't have a bike... :(
But it would be a really long ride considering the school is across town.

basically my entire life in the shithole, or almost


like, waking up on time in an attempt at getting to some stupid course on time, only to have that effort trashed by the bus that never arrives (except of course when I decide to leave, but at that point, fuck it)


I'm SO glad I left the shithole. in that place, everything is miles away, so you can't just bike or walk to it. fuck that place.




anyway, I feel that this thread belongs more in General chat. should we move it?

Questions end with a question mark, though, not a period.

EDIT.

There a question mark, just for you.

This was back in elementary school... Fall or winter.

I was waiting to be bussed off for the day, long after everybody else left. 'Cept for teachers, or course. So there I was, waiting and waiting, rest of the staff wondering what I was still doing there. Until my bus finally arrived and I got home @ 6p. The rest is good in the hood.
