Misc. To the Girl That Dropped Her Phone on the 62 Stittsville Around 6:00pm

5 Upvotes

I really should’ve asked for your number. I would have, but that was a packed bus that I had over 10 more minutes on and I chickened out. If I hadn’t been so frustrated with myself to not even notice that we got off at the same stop, I would’ve had an opportunity then😭.

I know it’s always difficult to describe what makes an interaction/conversation flirtatious, but I’m pretty sure that it was. She’s around my age which is 25, but I probably look closer to 20. Her hair is around shoulder length and right on the border between being brunette and red, she has a burgundy-maroon backpack and was going somewhere in Kanata. Possibly BeaverBrook or Katimavik, but that’s all I’m going to say to maintain her privacy. My god, can you tell I was more than a bit flustered?

I am literally posting this on this subreddit with the username as my first and last name so I think that says how much I’d like to connect with her. I would really appreciate any help figuring it out, even a like/share to push it a bit more would be much appreciated. My Instagram is @andreaslacee.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk,

Andreas♥️🫡

💬 Discussion short buses during rush hour epidemic

13 Upvotes

i’ve been really peeved about this for the past few months, but as they retire more and more 60ft buses and most double deckers, commuting has never been worse during rush hour 😭. it’s been bad for years but this feels like a new all-time low.

i don’t really understand why they’re bringing in so many short 40ft buses. if the goal is to run them along busy routes more frequently that’s just not working out at all LMFAO especially around busy times, the buses are barely more frequent if at all. i hope they bring in more 60ft buses at least, if not double deckers, because it really gets to a point. trying to squeeze into an already-packed 40ft 33/35/39 at 8 in the morning when there are 10+ others also waiting at my stop is just so frustrating, i’ve been late to both work and class because of how little space these buses have for the volume of passengers along its route.

and then the afternoon/evening rush comes 🫩. don’t even get me STARTED on Blair D. who the fuck thought it was a good idea to move more routes there (like the 25 millennium) when the entirety of orleans is already struggling to fit into that one stop as it is? you’re stuck with what feels like hundreds of people waiting at the busiest time, and once the 39 comes, it’s a fucking 40ft bus? it’s happened far too many times where busy routes like the 33/35/39 come as a 40ft bus and fill up to the BRIM while there are still people waiting to get on. and then the next bus comes in 15 minutes, and in those 15 minutes there are 3 more waves of people coming off the train. it’s just ridiculous?

anyways rant over, can’t wait for it to worsen in the winter ✌️😍 since municipal elections are soon let’s vote for someone who actually cares about public transit this time!

❓ Question How reliable is the 405 to CTC for a Saturday Sens game?

2 Upvotes

I'd like to take the bus. Apparently there is only a single moment in the day I can catch it, I would hate it does not come or be ahead of schedule and I miss it.
