Other people’s crazy
I was on the 74 the other day, on my way to downtown STP. A woman got on the bus at W 7th and sat in the first seat, opposite the driver. She began to loudly yell at the bus driver to stop jerking the bus around.
Chatty Guy
I ride the 663 every morning from Minnetonka to downtown Minneapolis. I have seen the same guy twice every day (inbound and outbound) for the last 2 years. He has become known to some of us as “Chatty Guy.”
Cheetos in the a.m.
I had been a regular using the 460 to and from downtown Minneapolis for a couple of years. I had no previous bus experience and there were many days of annoying behaviors from my fellow passengers. I never got used to stupid, Jack-holes, that insist on believing everyone is interested in their loud cell phone [...]
Fight annoying with annoying
I was pleased to see someone on the bus this morning fight annoying with annoying. It was at least an entire block before the next stop and I watched as an impatient woman in a window seat began shuffling around, eventually standing up and asking the girl next to her to let her out. So [...]
The one and only destination
I ride an express bus. There are 10 or so stops as the bus picks up commuters on the way out of town, rolling down Marquette, turning on 11th to pick up the Targetrons, finally hitting 394 west bound, out to the one and only destination, the park and ride. Let me repeat that last [...]
Bye Shannon!
Normally if I attend any sort of Happy Hour activity after work I like to take a cab home because the 18 can get pretty sketchy after rush hour. Well, tonight I went to happy hour and only stayed for two drinks so I thought, well it’s still early, so I’ll hop the [...]
Fire in the sky
I was going to work when an old guy got on and flopped down in a seat, drunk. He noticed me as I glanced at him and came to sit next to me on the nearly-empty bus. To himself he said, “I’m so scared!” so I asked him what he was scared of. [...]
Completely and entirely lost
I took the 672 from work – Plymouth -> Minneapolis downtown as I always do. It was a very bad rush hour day so our bus driver decided that we will take back roads instead. Well, back roads led into more back roads and he got completely and entirely lost. 30 minutes later we were [...]
Confession
This is going to sound insensitive, but I have to admit that it tests my patience every time someone needs to use the lift to get on the bus, especially when it’s for some sort of small wheelie cart. The other day I wanted to stand up and applaud when the driver walked out of [...]
Someday when you’re older
I was on the bus the other night when two thirteen years old got on and was sharing a transfer. The bus driver told them only one transfer per person. When they got seated one of them pulled out a cigarette and starting smoking. The bus driver pulled over and told them [...]
