Today was the last straw...every morning as I am making my way to the bus stop I see a bus go by while I'm still two or more blocks away. These buses really seem to take the schedule as merely a suggestion...not to mention, when the next bus arrived the traffic had gotten so bad that it took me nearly an hour and a half to get to work from the time I got on the bus! Not the way I wanted to start my day, but life goes on...
Fast forward to the evening commute....I missed the bus I wanted to take as it always seems to leave five minutes early. So, I had to take the bus that drops me a bit farther from the house. I don't really mind the walk, but this bus stops so many more times, it takes a full hour to get home even on the 7:30 p.m. bus! For some reason tonight a lot of people were getting on the bus once we were in Elizabeth. This seemed strange because it is typically a commuter bus, where people mostly get off to go home. In any case, the bus reached a point where it was standing room only. This made it quite interesting when someone in the back of the bus needed to get off at their stop! At one point, there was so much movement in the aisles that the driver shouted out..."Don't squeeze the Charmin!" I nearly burst out laughing, and then to top it off the lady behind me shouted back...."Charmin bounces back, ya know...it's alright!" This was exactly what I needed to make the commute a bit more bearable. Luckily the crowd didn't last two long and by the time the bus got to my stop I had no problem getting off the bus!
