Wanted My Name

I walked up to my bus stop this morning and a woman I've seen one time before asked me if the busses have generally been on time. I told her they have within a few minutes. She asked for my name and I gave her my first name. She wanted to be sure I was a regular bus patron and asked if she could have my last name so I could be a witness for when she goes to court over the bus not being on time. I told her I'd rather not. The 560 was pulling up and she got on it.
Bus rides are entertaining.

Straw beer rita

Sitting across from a couple of young women and one is drinking a straw-beer-its at 8:00 a.m. with Doritos and grandma's cookies. Breakfast of champions.

Elvis

Waiting for the bus and who do I see across the street? Elvis!
Bus rides equal entertainment.

Wet seat

It was quite the uncomfortale ride home this afternoon due to a leaky bus. The rain had passed through earlier so I wasn't even thinking things may be wet. The second I sat in my seat at the rear end of the bus I got soaked to the skin. All the way home in the dry seat in wet clothes was uncomfortable. I did have a little of empathy from a co-rider who did the same thing. You could see water in the light fixtures sloshing around and a slow drip coming from the speakers. That bus needs to be sealed up.

Bus Stop Posting

Standing in the bus stop tonight I noticed a strange posting taped to the wall but it made no sense to me.
A fellow rider suggested it might be a rap but it didn't seem like one. It was more like random thoughts.

Flying Tire

As I was walking up to the bus stop a pickup truck was losing it's rear tire. It came off flying in my direction and landed against a Coney island. I watched it barrel on through as if they had no idea they were riding in their rim. Pretty exciting morning. Wacky Wednesday.

Warning to all Riders about your phones

It was conveyed to me about two separate incidents of attempted robberies on Smart Buses. Be aware of your surroundings at all times. People with Smart phones are being targeted. As people on the bus are using their phones the alleged perpetrators are trying to swipe the phones as they exit the bus. I was told by eye witnesses that the phones were not taken but there were assaults in the attempts. If you are so into your phone be aware that you may be targeted if you are near an exit. This post is only meant as a precaution and to be aware at all times in public with your phones.
