  1. i drove my first route in revenue service yesterday. it wasn't too bad. i messed up on the farebox twice and didn't do the tires any favors with respect to the curbs, but i got through it without hitting anything or anyone. and by the end of the day, i was really feeling confident about the whole thing.

    i didn't realize it would be so hard to stay on schedule. if your bus is late, it's because the driver had to deploy the wheelchair ramp at the last stop and the guy with the crumpled dollar bills needed some extra time to get them all into the machine. so, please be patient.

    if you want the buses to run on time, calling your city counsel to demand free public transport would go a long way toward that. the ramp deployments can't (and shouldn't!) be avoided, but it's the cash transactions that really eat up the minutes.

  2. The goons at Shitty Hall have decided, it's going to cost you an additional 20 bucks EACH WAY to use The Tunnel Bus.

    They cut the School "Extras" (because getting kids to and from school safely in this CarCentril HellScape city is an extra apparently)

    They're raising Transit Windsor fees in the spring.... when the equipment at our desperately outdated garage is broken to the point that it's incapable of keeping enough busses on the roads at all.

    But our "Advocates" call that " Win some lose some"

    I HAVE to assume "Activate Transit Windsor" is nothing more than a Drew Dilkens Sock-puppet.

    You deserve better, Windsor. You're not going to get it, until you TAKE IT
