A day of transit firsts...
It could have been in the ridiculous amount of time I spent about various ETS vehicles today, or it could have just been one of those days.
- I rode aboard my first bendy bus. You know, the ones that have the accordian-like section in the middle, like the LRT cars? I sat in the bendy section for added effect.
- The driver actually asked every single person on one of the buses I was on to see their fare. You know when you get on at West Ed or some other money draining facility, and the driver's in the can or having a smoke? Well with no one there, many people just keep their change to themselves and have a seat, because the driver never checks to see if people have paid their fares. With *this* guy, actually went through every single person on the bus, and kicked two kids off...
- When I phoned the bus people (but still didn't get connected to Heather), I actually got someone who was pleasant. And asked how I was. I was so taken aback, she had to ask if I was still on the line.
On a partially related note (only because it took place in an LRT station), I fell down the stairs yesterday. When I woke up this morning, it was kind of difficult to get out of bed. It sucked.
Liberated at
