Last Saturday I was riding the bus quite late, I think it was 1am. This bus was very loud, and there was only one pole..... Thats beacuse it was a party bus!
My good friend Zack had his birthday on saturday and he decided to get a party bus, this was the first time I had ever been on a party bus so I was pretty excited. I jumped on this colourful bus and headed right to the striper pole (At this point I had a few drinks in me) the girls quickly kicked me off, and the guys didn't complain. The bus took us to our first stop Limelight.
Limelight is a karaoke bar, and I'm not much of a karaoke guy my self. But after I had a few more drinks in me I was convinced to sing Bye Bye Bye by NSync (Who am I kiding it was my idea to sing that) any way so me and a few other guys ran up and started singing, it was really fun. But this blog isn't about karaoke bars, it's about buses, so lets go back to the bus.
It was about 10:30 at this point and we jumped back onto the bus. The bus driver was handing out prizes, he had 5 prizes for 15 people and of course I didn't win. Well I might have won, at this point I didn't really care, I was just trying to master mind a way to get me back on the striper pole. Our next stop was at Republic night club. Republic was crazy, but like I said this is about the bus, not the club.
At about 2am the bus picked us all up and drove us right to our friends house. I'll say it was a fun way to get around the city, but I do have a few complaints. One, the driver was very jerky with his driving. He knows that there are people in the back standing up, and some of them are girls with ridiculously high heels on. There were a few occasions when people fell down. My second complaint........... hmmm guess I don't have one, any way it was a really fun night and a really fun bus to ride on!

Ride for free
Today I took a ride on the free shuttle for the first time, and the experience was interesting to say the least. I was riding the bus after the Creative Communications IPP Presentations (Which were really good by the way) which were at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. The bus was taking me back to school to do this blog post (Oh that's cool) and other homework.
The first thing I noticed was that it was one of the short buses that Winnipeg Transit has. The one door meant that the front door was a busy place. As I stepped on the bus driver clicked his counter above the change machine, I guess transit keeps count of all the people that ride for free. As me and my friend Matt made our way through the busy bus we found two seats in the back.
There were definitely some characters back there. Right across from us was an old lady who was talking to everyone around her, beside her was a couple who were very cuddly, and too the right of us was a homeless guy who didn't say a word.
The old lady and the couple were talking about something I couldn't understand, but they were talking very fast. Another homeless guy came and sat beside the old lady, from what I could tell they hadn't known each other. The man sat between the couple and the old lady, so immediately after he sat down the old lady leaned over the homeless guy to talk to them. The old lady started to move her hand onto the homeless guys lap and rested it on his upper thigh. The homeless guy looked across at us and made an extremely hilarious face.
The old lady asked the couple were they lived, then asked the address, the asked them to write it down. Without hesitation the woman wrote down her address. The homeless guy looked at us again, and again made an extremely hilarious face. Finally our stop came and we got off the bus. After getting off me and Matt looked at each other and laughed.
"That was the weirdest bus ride in my whole life," said Matt.
Well Matt, welcome to the life of a bus blogger.
