All of mine would pause if they saw you running for the bus, and wait long enough to let you leap on board. I'm sorry you had such a different experience.JJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404985455733545060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-25107269616532208522010-05-07T15:30:56.154-04:002010-05-07T15:30:56.154-04:00Markin: then you never dealt with a couple of the...Markin: then you never dealt with a couple of the drivers who used to do the Vienna-Centreville runs and would pull away a minute or two early when they saw a train pulling up, or the ones who would go through south Centreville and not bother to pick up people at the Stone Road P&R. I'm so much happier that FC has those routes now.JohnKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-40097188683071739072010-05-07T14:52:10.750-04:002010-05-07T14:52:10.750-04:00Oh, and, @J.

One year, our very own Metro was running cars all gussied up for Christmas, some of them very artistically, indeed, with lights and sound and Christmas carols. (That would have been, give or take, 1990.)<br /><br />I spent considerable time wandering about taking unnecessary Metro trips so I could find and ride on as many of these special cars as possible. But I gather there were complaints because some of the decorations took up passenger space. (I mean, there were Christmas scenes on platforms that spread over two, three seats, even!) So it never happened again, much to my disappointment.JJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404985455733545060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-7100926846967709052010-05-07T12:29:24.302-04:002010-05-07T12:29:24.302-04:00While I've never been handed candy, pretty muc...While I've never been handed candy, pretty much every driver on the bus route I take to work is pleasant and friendly - this is on MTA Maryland in Baltimore.J.
