Check the destination
I drive the 722 all day. People don’t realize that when I am done with my shift I change route to the 604. So in the evening they do not read the destination sign on the bus. When they ask where I go I tell them down basslake rd. They hop on the bus and as soon as I get to highway 81 they come up to the front of the bus and ask me if I go to the starlite center, brooklyn blvd. This is an everyday occurance, I might as well talk on the mic so they do not waste a trip to ask me. Sometimes I wish I had a profession as tour guide for the twincities. I would not need a second job.

One time I accidentally got on the 250 instead of the 50S leaving downtown. I glanced at the destination sign and the numbers must have looked close enough because it wasn’t until the bus pulled off onto cedar lake road that I realized what I’d done.

Yes,it seems people cannot read the sign on the front or side of the bus! I understand when it’s covered w/ snow or ice, ( the newer buses’ “header sign” glass have defrosters) But on a clear day people still lack the ability to read a giant, lighted sign. I get that all the time…
“What bus is this?”
