I loved the 'Bustastrophe' story. It sounds a lot like some of my early bus experiences... maybe without the coffee spilling and the jacket kicking. @Dottie. Most of our buses don't have luggage areas but I'm about 30 miles out of the city and they always send a greyhound style bus out there. (Which is good because we usually have 4-5 cyclists trying to use the bus simultaneously and there's only one bus that comes out in the morning & one in the evening.) @Adam.

I've often thought whoever does the hiring there really keeps in mind that bus drivers have to like people to like their jobs. I'm not saying there aren't some burnt out jerks driving bus out there... cuz I've met them too. But really, there are days when I want to write letter to RGTS and tell them how great their drivers are.
