I really missed biking today. Traffic to work was horrible and it was my bus to work day.

I take a car share from home to the first bus route I use. I hop on the first bus, that was easy, I had it timed perfect. Just planning to make my second bus which is the last rush hour bus that detour to my industrial area. That was until we hit residual traffic five blocks later. I later found out the traffic was a result of a stalled semi on the bridge going the opposite direction, it took two hours to clear. Sigh, big sigh...traffic planning. No commercial trucks should be allowed during rush hour, 7-10 in the morning and 4-6 in the afternoon.

Anywho, get off to transfer. Wait, wait. A bus comes, not the one I was planning but it will work. I get on, double check with the driver of the route since he was fiddling with the sign. Both the sign and driver say it is the bus I want, someone else asks also. I get on we get going, well nowhere since traffic. The driver then has an ah-ha moment, he was wrong hes going the other way; he was nice, pleasant, and flustered from traffic and I couldn't be upset with him. I get dropped with a few others at the stop on the industrial island to wait for the bus I was originally waiting for. We wait in the wind and rain sprinkles, wait, a few busses we don't want come. Finally 40 minutes after making my first transfer the bus comes. But by that point he's on his day route, meaning a 5-700 meter walk instead of 70 meter. I find that the other bus broke down. I wait to cross the street, a semi decides to run the red to make a right turn, causing me to miss a whole light cycle. I finally hobble my way to work, thinking this is why I ride. 10 km commute in one hour 20 minutes. The good side, it never rained.

This was coupled with my attempt to bus home last night from school. I check and no car shares in a 700 m radius, weird. I decide to take the bus, it is a main route it should be every 8-12 minutes, max 15. A bunch of other busses did go by, they were off duty or only dropping off. The bus finally did come after 20+ minutes.

Okay I am done venting.
