I used to ride the bus every day when I was going to the U in 2001-02 (usually routes 12, 6, 16, 50, or 664 to/from the U, and others around town), and although I never saw anything quite as noteworthy as the things I’ve read on this site, I /did/ occasionally meet have some good conversations with nice people. I still ride sometimes, when I know I’ll be heading into or out of the city during the afternoon rush hour — it’s less aggravating than driving then.

And if anyone remembers an odd guy (either quiet or very talkative) with long blondish hair, glasses, a maroon U of MN hat, and a book, he might have been me.

I love these stories about the system here.
