Absolutely Livid

Hello, my name is Julie EL-Chaer and I’m here to talk about the wild ride many call “public transportation.” So let’s start talking transit!

Originally this first post was going to be about my experience using the bus, but something happened yesterday that I strongly feel should be discussed. Yesterday, when I finished class, I was waiting for the bus (as I do every Wednesday) and the rudest thing happened. Not only was the bus late to come to the stop I was at, but it decided to continue going and not stop to pick me up.

Now, when the bus drove by me I was confused at first. Giving the driver the “where are you going” look, but all he did in return was shake his head. I went through as the possibilities of it driving by. The bus, from what I saw through the window, didn’t look too busy and it was only me at the stop, so it couldn’t be because there was no room.

I’ve had a lot bad experiences on the bus, but this one takes the cake. I don’t think I’ve ever been so livid because of public transportation before, and that includes the first time I took the bus, when it was 10 minutes late and I was almost late to school.

Now, not every week am I going to rant about how horrible the bus it, I just wanted to get this little thing off my chest. Stick around, because every Thursday I’ll have a whole new experience while we talk transit!
