Tales from the Transit Line

Public Service Announcement from the Morning Commute:

Tired of missing your bus or feeling more like a sardine than a commuter?

You have a chance to vote for better public transit in the BC election today.

The BC New Democrats say they will re-direct millions in carbon tax revenue to increase funding for public transit and improve service as a practical response to climate change.

The choice is yours, but the results for public transit over the last 12 years under the BC Liberals is clear – there are no more buses.

Fashion Files from the Morning Commute:

Just because the Millenium Line isn’t near any golf courses, doesn’t mean that while you’re getting teed off with the crowds at Commercial-Broadway Station, you can’t look like your on your way to tee-off.

This guy’s just missing a green blazer to make his golf-inspired attire complete.

Namaste.

Report from the Morning Commute:

The stench of sweat and booze permeating the SkyTrain this morning, is a clear indication that many commuters celebrated St. Patty’s Day yesterday.

As Mr. Angus would say, if he used public transit, “it smells like a god damn brewery in here.”

Gag.

According to our staff reporter on-scene this morning, it is possible, although hard to imagine, to put mascara on without a mirror, while giving directions to a stranger.

Report from the Morning Commute:

Recent evidence suggests that no matter how frantically or exasperatedly a young blonde woman looks around a crowded bus, no one is going to move to let her sit down.

Further studies reveal that ‘sitter’s guilt’ – an emotional state evoked in those who get seats on a busy bus – is short lived.

Report from the Morning Commute:

In an attempt to protect his girlfriend from a bullet, a male commuter wrapped himself around his female companion, like a shield, to protect her from the possibly fatal projectile.

After investigating the incident, authorities issued this statement:

“If it looks like your trying to protect your girlfriend from gunfire, as you pin her against the SkyTrain door, you should probably back off a bit on the PDA.”

Some people might also argue, it’s simply too early for that kind of smut.

Report from the Morning Commute:

Although there were fewer commuters than normal on a Monday morning, not everyone in BC has the day off today.

“Since this is not a federally established holiday, all federal workers work on Family Day, including post office employees and public servants,” according to www.statutoryholidays.com and my alarm clock.
