I was out to the road by 8:47 AM, and to the bus stop a few minutes early. But I waited and waited, no Route 719 bus ever showed up. I ended up snagging the Route 18 local downtown at 9:09 AM.

Then Delaware Avenue was blocked up due to a car crash, further delaying the Route 18 heading downtown. God really doesn’t want me to get to work today.

I’ve really gotten away from riding the local in favor of the 719, as the express is a little more quicker, and certainly much quieter. The express usually only stops 3-4 times before getting to work – usually just the Park and Ride and the Empire Plaza. Plus, it always gets me to work at a more appropriate hour.

It was a chilly morning waiting out for the bus this morning. I didn’t plan to get stuck waiting for 20 minutes for a bus that never came. So be it. I could have just driven Big Red downtown, but by the time — I find a on-street parking spot and walked to work, I would have saved time by just waiting for the bus.
