Bus Tales

Yesterday, while riding the 36 bus to the gym, it came to a stop. The bus driver then requested we exit quickly as the rear end of the vehicle was smoking. "I don't want you to get sick," he said. One rider replied, "We gonna get sick if you make us stand outside in the cold!" From there, the bus driver was bombarded with requests for emergency transfers as the delay would cause their free transfer to expire. "Poor guy," I thought. He just wanted us to be smoke free.
