I realize that snow is not good. Especially when the streets do not get plowed, there is too much snow on the sides of the streets and there are trouble getting things done. I got on the 4:10pm bus to go home. I will generally get home at about 4:30 or 4:35. I got home at 5:30pm. How? Oh... Dearest transit... I'm about to tell you.
The 3:50 bus was on C Street, the corner of it, actually, and had hazard lights on. My bus was behind it because C St. was too small to get around the first bus. The 4:30 and the 4:50 bus were also on the same block of C St. Yeah, that was great. Really, it was. Could the first bus have not called the transit people to tell them that they would be blocking the street?
At around 5:00pm, everyone on the first three buses all piled off and got onto the fourth bus and somehow the first three buses all moved out of the way. The fourth bus? This magical bus that was somehow supposed to get me to my stop? Yeah... It started rolling backwards. It had trouble at every single stop that the bus had to stop at to let people off. It was a joy, really.
So, dearest transit company... Please, pretty, pretty please, invest some money in better snow tires. Invest some money on better communication tools. Invest some money in being able to physically run buses on days were there is snow. I still love you, really I do. You're saving me a huge amount of money each month with my discounted student pass, so I do love you.
But your incapabilities of running trains or buses while it is snowing is a pain. So... Fuck you.

Last Tuesday I had a work-thing at 5:30 pm. I got on the bus at 4pm, which should have gotten me to work around 5:05. (Which, considering it was my first week, I thought was better than 5:35.)
After two super-late buses and painfully slow ride out of town, I got to work at 6:10.
So, yeah. Fuck you transit system.
