Ridin' the bus....

Had a 1500 hr appointment at my dentist for my semi-annual cleaning and exam.
Bad time of day to be returning from downtown with workers and tons of
university students jamming the roads.
I to9k the bus down and it was a pleasant trip at $1.75 senior rate.
Coming back at 1600 hrs was another matter.
First another route bus was trying to load a huge guy on a motorized wheelchair.
He tried and tried to get his extra wide chair up the ramp and then turn left.
All the university students just stood and watched while he spun his
front wheels on the buses ramp.
This was holding my bus from c9ming into the loading zone so I had to
push and wrangle this heavy load up the ramp and turned 90 degrees in a
very confined space.
Got that done and for my troubles ended up
standing in my bus. Was that woman driver jerky! Thought I was going to
lose my balance a couple of times.
About 3/4 rs of the way to my stop something happens to the back door and
the bus can't continue. Bus driver tries all she knows and contacts her
supervisors while quite a few students bail out. Finally someone
discovers a tree branch interfering with the back door so we resume our trip.
Catch up to a number of the students who all have to board again.
On top of all that had a guy in the seat in front of me who smelled like
he has ****ed himself at some point.
Maybe I should get my bicycle out of mothballs and start using it around town.
Life sucks in Halifax?
