Definitely made the right choice! Phone people ended their conversations quickly, and I didn't even realize the driver is my whistle-y driver that used to be the highlight of my ride in each morning, when I first started my job! #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
Y'all. I decided to avoid both of my curses (with the 3:55 asshole bus driver and the 4:10 passenger that talks on his phone for the whole ride), and take the 3:40 bus home today.
Two people are on their phones in the row behind me.
#AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
Y'all, my choices for afternoon bus rides these days are either the asshole driver that makes me rage angry as soon as I see his face, or the dude that talks on the phone for the whole ride home because THE REST OF US CARE ABOUT YOUR MUNDANE SHIT, I PROMISE. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
Y'all, waiting for the bus in a -15° wind chill with ocean wind is way-the-fuck colder than waiting in a -21° wind chill with suburbs wind. Fml, every part of me hurts or is numb rn. Granted, I also sat in a frigid office all day... #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
-21° at the bus stop this morning, and allow me to say this plainly...
*clears throat*
FUCK. WINTER.
#AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
In today's episode of, "Katie's Bougie Life", I'm currently the only person on the bus. Didn't know I was getting my own chauffeur this morning. 🤪💅🏻 #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
-7° is TOO. COLD. to wait for the bus. 🥶🥶🥶 #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
When you have a pretty damn good work day, and one pissy-ass bus driver tries to take you down... #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
First ride on one of the new electric buses. Anyone that rides #hfxtransit knows you're perpetually unbalanced on every ride. Not in these new seats! I didn't have to stick a leg out, or lean against a turn once! It was amazing. Five stars. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
PSA: If you know you've "got a cold, got the flu, my head is killing me.", THEN MAYBE DON'T GET ON FUCKING PUBLIC TRANSIT YOU COMPLETE TWATWAFFLE. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit #hfxtransit
Is there anything worse than people who have whole ass phone conversations while on the bus? We don't care about the fact you're waking slower than usual, it's causing your renovations to go slow, and what your family is doing this weekend, dude. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
There's a girl rolling a joint on the bus this morning. It's legal here, she's doing nothing wrong, it's just not exactly what you expect to see on not-exactly-stable-while-moving public transit on a Wednesday morning. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
The 4:10 bus got to the stop at 4:05. Driver left the bus until 4:15, then tried to pull away without letting anyone on (one guy happened to be standing at the door/threw his hands up to stop him). This is a day in the life of trying to rely on public transit in Halifax. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
The ongoing mystery traffic on Windmill. An MVA slowing it up further (hope everyone's ok). Dude that always insists on having phone conversations on the bus. Being on a bus in 24°/76° with the heat on, and not moving, so no air coming in the windows? Y'all...
#AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
WHOLE FUCKING EMPTY BUS, AND YOU AND YOUR OVERBEARING COLOGNE HAS TO SIT RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
WHYYYYYYY ARE PEOPLE SO AWFUL?!
#AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
An ocean view from a bridge.
I still get to cross the ocean every morning, though... so, it's not all bad. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
There's an accident on/near the bridge, and it's looking like I'm not getting to work until almost 9:00. I got to the bus stop at 7:15. This is not how one wants to start a work day. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
And now, of course, the 7:30 bus didn't come. #hfxtransit is infuriating. I don't know how the people with strict schedules aren't constantly in trouble at their job because of buses not showing up. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
I missed the bus by so little that literally, the bus stopped to let me cross the street before leaving me behind. 🤣😭 #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
When you specifically leave work early, so you can catch the 3:55 bus home, and it never shows up... 😤😤😤 #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
A pair of legs in jeans, spread into the leg space of the legs next to/in front of the person in the next seat.
Y'all, don't be this person on the bus. There's a half-empty bus, and you need to sit DIRECTLY in front of me/put your leg into my space? Sit on the other seat on the bench! 🤬
(I've now had to uncross my legs. Trying to "hold my leg back" hurt too much) #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
Buses routed from Scotia Square to Cogswell instead of to Upper Water, when the Cogswell-onto-Barrington left turn isn't on. Adding 20+ min to a commute. My route is supposed to leave Marketplace Terminal at 4:34, & we crossed the bridge at that time, b/c 1 traffic light. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
Sure glad I made the decision to put my winter hat in my work bag this morning. The wind downtown is FRIGID. 🥶 #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE ON THE BUS HAVING PHONE CONVERSATIONS, AND SOMEONE KILL ME NOW, THX. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
A weather app with a cat holding an inside out umbrella in heavy rain.
I feel ya, weather kitty. This wait at the bus stop is gonna suck. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
When you're so excited to be headed home... then your bus breaks down. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
JUST missed the early bus. So help me if the next one doesn't run like last week... at least it's not quite as frigid this week. -9° instead of -18°. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
-18° at the bus stop again this morning. So help me if this bus doesn't show up again like yesterday... #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
We're what, like a week+ since the last big snow? There's one little space in front of the "shelters" (can't really call them that when all of the glass has been smashed out) at the #hfxtransit bus stops, but the rest of the sidewalks look like this. #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
To have two police officers marching purposely towards you when you're the only one at the bus stop is a bit disconcerting. For them now to be photographing/collecting evidence right next to you... #AdventuresinHalifaxTransit
