Last week I was riding the bus (what a surprise) and for once every thing seemed normal. No one was fighting, everyone had their music to an appropriate level. I was honestly freaking out a bit, I was thinking to my self "What am I going to blog about? My fans need me! Ahhhhh" but just as I asked god how he could over look my blog material, he delivered.
A woman sitting one row in front of me put her hand on the yellow string and went to pull it. As she pulled it the yellow string fell and all tension on it was lost. The woman looked confused and turned around to see what was happening. Two young boys who were sitting in the back were laughing and when they saw us looking at them, they got off the bus.
I was sitting right near the end of the string so I picked it up to see what was wrong with it. When I looked at the end of it I noticed that it had been cut. The woman who was sitting in front of me looked even more confused now, and honestly she looked a little scared. I could see her asking her self "How am I going to get off now? How long will I be on this bus? Will I have to make a shelter in the back? When I run out of food who will I eat first? I'll eat that dumb kid behind me, I bet no one will miss him" But before she could eat me a man pulled the other string on the other side and the woman could now escape.
I imagine it's a pain that transit has to deal with these vandalism problems. I think most people think it's only one bus so it can't cost that much. But this is happening to buses all around the city, and I'm not just talking about strings being cut. Graffiti, waste, I once saw dog poop on the bus, and to answer your question yes it was disgusting. I like to joke around about taking the bus, but maybe we should all make an effort to leave the bus in the best condition we can. Because after all we're the ones who need to ride them.
i'd miss you. but you're blog looks horrendous
