Santa and his Weed
I was taking the 21 and this lady with a stroller is flagging down the bus with her little girl. The bus stops, and waits for her, and she comes on the bus saying she’s too old to have kids. She’s searching all of her pockets and in the stroller for her transfer and she [...]
Steel Reserve – H20 edition
I was on the 50 this morning going to St. Paul. It’s a quiet bus and our driver is pretty awesome. 2 women and 3 kids get on–2 kids looked about 13, one about 5 or 6. They all had suitcases & had the look you get when you’ve just gotten back [...]
You can’t talk about a bra
I was on the way home from work. A lot of kids from an art school downtown ride my bus. Behind me there were two girls who looked about 18 and an older guy. The girls were talking at a normal conversational level about how much they both wanted to drink that night, but they [...]

On a Saturday when coming back from Central Library on bus. Bus full of noisy rude kids 17 to 22 yrs. old. Swearing, screaming, bouncing back and forth in isle acting like they owned the thing and quiet passengers definately out numbered. One group exceptionally bad, had a couple girls that were acting [...]

Paint-splattered bus
When I was living in Portland, I used the 75 a lot, which, as anyone who knows Portland, knows what a sketchy route this can be, as it goes all the way up 82nd Ave (or, as I called it, Hooker/Tweaker Boulevard) and the aptly named Killingsworth Ave. One time, a few blocks down [...]
