morning commute
guy on the bus on 15th this morning is panicking. he needs to get to 14th W and Howe. bus driver has no clue. consortium of bus riders check out his printed out trip plan, recognize his stop, pull for it, and give him instructions on which way he needs to go on foot from there. this spurs a discussion of how bus riders in Seattle know their routes inside out and are quite helpful. (also about the street grid, since we almost sent him on a wild goose chase into Magnolia.)
the stop before mine, the bus is about to pull away, and a man in the shelter lets out an auctioneer bellow - "someone's coming!" bus driver waits, long moments pass, and a young woman comes pelting down the sidewalk. the dude in the shelter must have seen her start running from blocks away.
i lost count of the people carrying or reading Harry Potter.
someone stuck a sign that says "Buffering..." on the Real building.
i love this town.

I love how bus people take care of each other. I've been saved more than once by someone asking the driver to wait, and have helped with routes, etc. too. Most busses have a community-feel to them, and it feels good to take care of people that way.

And just so you know, bus drivers cherish every "thank you." One of those will counteract at least five jackasses.

You're right, though...bus riders in this town are exceptionally nice and remarkably patient.

That made me laugh loud enough to startle Blondie (http://steve98052.livejournal.com/30070.html). Maybe that's a sign that I should get a faster net connection.
