Our limited/express bus was running a tad late–and making up lost time. He maneuvered that bendy bus through rush hour traffic and was killing it. He was already my favorite driver of all time (well, except for Daddy).
A guy got on and didn’t have a pass ready. Dude scolded him over the PA for taking like 30 seconds to not find it. Seconds turn into minutes and all.
“You come stand up here where I can keep an eye on you since you wasted my time.”
I’m quite sure the guy had a pass and just didn’t know where he put it. But he annoyed TF out of the driver.
And then he added, “You know, people stand at the bus stop and wait for a bus and then are surprised when the bus shows up!”
It was glorious!
We got off at our stop. And as we turned to call the cross walk, we see the next bus from that same route, who must have also made good time. No wonder our driver was in such a hurry.
Thank you, RTD and the driver on 15L.
