Packing is going to be the death of me...

Have I mentioned how much I hate the ETS.

I left to the bus 5 minutes earlier to than I normally would and was there clearly well before the bus should have been. So, I was on my way to the stop, most of the through the field and the bus drives by. Sitting in the bus "shelter" and there was this lady standing just outside in the doorway and staring at me for a good 5 minutes. Or at least it felt like it. The next bus should of been at the stop at 09:19 but did not get there till 09:25. Good thing the 33 sat around late like it normally does so I just made it before it drove off intern making me truly late for work.

It seems lately that more and more the ETS is failing. Recent trends in the world today is to go green and the city of Edmonton is trying to push it, well at least they have that facade going for them right now. For instance getting ETS to turn the buses off when waiting at the transit stations. But, my point, the way the system is set up it makes it real difficult for people to get from one point to another in a timely matter. I want to know how hard it would be to revamp this system to something that would work for the sprawling that this city insists on doing. I am not just talking about the actual cost but the difficulty of the stupid people to learn the new routes. Transit systems, in more impoverished nation, can work effectively, so why does this city insist on failing so completely. But I digress.

Oh on a side note, the window on the bus is broke and will not latch closed.
