Re: TheBus news
Now that I'm employed again, I ride theBus every day from Hawaii Kai to Keeaumoku. I take the #1, and catch it at 5:30 a.m. I take the 1L back to Hawaii Kai, boarding between 3:45 and 4 p.m. at Keeaumoku & King. The afternoon bus ride is a movng zoo. I'm always thankful to get a seat by the window where I can be safe from getting hit by purses and backpacks. I sometimes wear my iPod without the sound on so I can appear to be tuned out.
I like my morning driver named George--super pleasant. My previous driver of the 82 Express, Debbie, I see on ocasion in the afternoon, and sometimes I get on her 1 to transfer to the 236 or to the 1L at Kahala Mall to get to Hawaii Kai.
We are a one-vehicle family, so whoever has the kids, has the van. Commuting by bus generally is pleasant, mornings are better than afternoons. I read the morning paper on the way in to work, which is a habit I treasure. Afternoon rides sometimes tests one's resolve. Smelly people,drug addicts, loud teenagers who have learned new swear words get on board and it can be irritating. It is hard to get a smile out of a 1L bus driver, and I can understand why, carting around the underbelly of society for hours on end. But getting a friendly driver really seals the deal for me, sets the tone for the whole ride.
Sometimes peope talk on the phone while on theBus. I don't think it's a good idea. Everyone listens. Nobody wants to know. And because it's theBus, people on thePhone talk LOUD. Make it short, sweet, codify it so we don't have to know how much bail is, and hang up!
