    6 hours? He didn’t even bother to ride it the whole route?

    Hi Brandon, six hours was actually the whole route — if by route you mean bus driver’s shift. It was a part-time driver. I’d spent the morning on the 27 Bryant and, after the 49 driver was done with his six-hour shift that night, I hopped on the replacement 49, as well. But my assignment was to cover one shift, and I did.

    I was being sarcastic, implying that the bus doesnt make it along its whole route in 6 hours :P

    I didn’t know these reporters existed… One time I was on the 38 or 49 maybe, and this guy whipped out his camera and propped it up on his books and clicked it thinking I wasn’t aware that he was taking a picture of me -_- That freaked me out for a while
