My ride home was amusing. I avoided the MUP entirely because of a huge music festival that had turned one section of the MUP into a zoo with tourons and brain-dead muppets.

Out on the road, I found myself reeling in a city bus. I ride this bus once in a while and the number of stops it makes is maddening. People will get off, and someone will pull the stop cord the second the bus starts moving again for a stop that you could throw a rock at from the previous stop.

So I pass the bus as it's letting people off, then it catches me at a red light. Light turns green. I sprint. Bus can't pass me because it has to stop again.

Basically I rode 2 miles along that bus route and never saw the bus again. It's *that slow.* The road isn't congested. The bus just stops way too much.
