bus strike?
ahem... well then..
I could tell you about our bus drivers.. they make more than a registered nurse and all they do is drive a bloody bus. The are often late or sometimes early and then leave early.. so if you're ontime you wait even longer..
Also, the bus system, we have fare zones. our 1 zone fares are a bit more expensive than all the rest of the bus systems in canada, which is 2.25. Then you get the 2 zone which is 3.25, and then the 3 zone which is 4.50. Now if I were traveling a really long distance and I got charged that.. sure.. however, I can go one.. count them... ONE bloody stop.. and pay for 2 zones because I pass a bloody bus marker.. I can go further though within a single zone than it takes to do the 3 zone distance too. it's all about those stupid markers.. It's an incredibly moronic system formulated to rip the lot of us off.
We have machines on the busses that we have to wait to count our change down to the last penny before we get out tickets. And if we have a transfer, it has to be fed in the right way so it can check it *3* times.. making this annoying whirring sound as others are waiting behind you. then either gives a good beep.. or a bad beep.
it's probably more moronic than most bus systems I should think.. unless someone can tell me different
