This reminds me of lyrics to a Violent Femmes song, truly inspired by NYC:
"you got the mother and her kids
you got the guy and his date
we all get mad
we all get late
looks like somebody forgot about us
standing on the corner, waiting for a bus...

Let's call the mayor, let's complain
looks like somebody's done it to us again.
Tied up in traffic, whaddya know,
the damned city bus moves so SLOW"
