Another bus decided to cut me off. Not passing through an intersection this time, so stopping and waiting was an option.
This time the bus overshot it's stop by 2 full lengths because it couldn't stop fast enough after building up passing speed. The driver honked at me before passing though.. As if that might help me magically disappear or something...
Since there were a lot of passengers at that stop, I went on ahead. The bus started picking up speed behind me again coming up on the next stop! I got the hell off the road, and spent 10 minutes stretching.
Northbound on Don Mills, two stops south of Lawrence at about 3:30pm. Route 25, vehicle number 7824.

C2K! Woot!
And reading your trials with the TTC gives me more appreciation for (most of) our Edmonton Transit drivers, so I give 'em a break when I can.
Thanks man! You sure have taken a lot of miles out of me in the last few weeks.. :P
TTC drivers are normally just fine. The two recent ones are the first really astonishing experiences.. I dunno, part of me wants to submit a formal complaint (hence the bus numbers), but it feels too much like work..
2000 km is awesome! Non-core TTC: not so much. Really, those west end drivers are complete dicks.
