Cookie is the answer
I drive the 3 line and enjoy it for the foreign students. I’ve managed to have a few conversations and learn a bit about their countries. One of the passengers with whom I spoke was an Egyptian woman with a preschool-aged daughter, Maya.
People on the bus
I was on the 54 heading to Downtown St. Paul when we made a stop at W. 7th Street & Grand Avenue. A guy is standing outside the bus asking the bus driver questions. The guy says “Do you go near the Xcel Energy Center”? The driver replies by saying yes. Then the guy asks [...]
Cell phone sin
My question is less a tale to tell and more a question to pose for busriders. What, if any, are the “bus cell phone rules?”
I’m guessing most of us have encountered a loud bus cellphone talker at some point. The person who blabs on and on in what seems to be an unnecessarily loud voice. [...]
She was a toucher!
The 4 was pretty crowded when I got on in downtown and I was forced to stand until we were well into uptown. When I finally got to sit, it was next to a rather attractive woman that lives down the street from me. This, of course, freaked me out and I was [...]
Do they not own a mirror?
Let me just preface this by saying I am not an old prudish Southern woman. I am a fairly young, professional artist who is quite open minded and could seriously lose 20 pounds. During the heat wave last summer, not a day passed where I wasn’t nearly blinded by the sight of fat [...]
If she doesn’t like the smell
Last night, I overheard the following on the No. 2: “If she doesn’t like the smell, she shouldn’t ride the bus. I mean, if she’s rich, she should take a taxi or something.” Not sure if I was the “she” in question, but I thought things smelled fine.
9/11 was an inside job
Last week, I rode next to this college guy, and I noticed before sitting down that he was wearing a t-shirt that said something about 9/11. Usually I ignore the silly things people have stated on their shirts, but on a whim I asked him about it. He showed me that it actually [...]
Same question, just a different day
I was on the 12 heading towards Washington ave along Hennepin when the bus pulled over for a woman. She asked the bus driver if he stopped at some street across the river. He kindly said no, that he turns around before the river, then closed the door and pulled away. He then laughed and [...]
Is this the bus?
Last week I pulled into a bus stop because someone was sitting in the bus shelter. The man got up and stumbled to the outside of the shelter, propped himself up-somewhat and cigarette hanging out of his mouth asks, “Is this the bus?”
Baby, anyone?
I was waiting for bus 68 one night at 6th and Robert, and this drunk man shuffled by the bus stop and said “Do any of you ladies want to have a baby with me?” There was silence, and then a woman waiting for the bus said “Did he just say he wanted to [...]
