That too, he'll drop a topic if it means getting an extra insult in. I mean derails are awesome if done properly, but his don't usually go anywhere.

In the end he's kind of a one pony show. Not a bad one mind you, but once you you've seen it there's very little else to make you care. Like one of those games that hooks you with some spiffy new something, only for you to realize later it lacks any substance beyond that one notable gimmick.

Holy ****, saw a guy go full internet discussion escalation on a bus driver today. He went from mildly annoyed to aggressive racism and swear word abuse in one sentence.

I've seen someone argue over the price of a bus ticket for almost 10 minutes once, yelling and screaming over a pitiful amount of money. It made me miss my train too.

Some lady delayed the tram this morning. Came running up waving her arms and got the operators to hold the door. Then she proceed to rummage through her bag for the next 2 minutes while the rest of us were standing there, packed like sardines in a hot metal egg.

We finally left without her. Smiley: rolleyes

The buses in Edinburgh had a really, really annoying system where they gave no change. Because handling change would take too much time or something and they lock their bus drivers into glass cages like popes so there's no contact or something.

Edit: Also only 1 exit/entrance, what's up with that?

Should have to pay at a gate before getting to the tram to prevent problems like that.

Do they dress like mimes too? Because that'd be awesome.

We just don't give change. If someone refuses to pay then the driver pushes a button on the their display and the transit police will be waiting at a later stop.

That'd take too much effort. 90% of the riders don't pay, so they'd have to put in some kind of scan thingy on our ID cards and whatnot. The whole loading and unloading area is an unmitigated nightmare to be honest. Lazy people are lazy.

We have sort of prepaid cards that you use when getting on the bus or at gates before getting on the train, makes things really simple and they can have plans and such on them as well which would eliminate the problem you have. It's just a ***** for tourists.

We're moving from tickets, monthly pass cards or cash to a card system where you charge your card and then just swipe in on the bus. I think there will probably be options to pay as you go, or get unlimited rides, but we don't have details yet.

Hey lolgaxe, were you on Long Island this morning? I was behind a black Dodge Durango with US Army plates. I thought, "There are only a little over 500,000 active duty in the Army, and most of those are overseas and in other states, so it could be him." I decided to beep my horn, but as soon as I decided to do that the light decided to change and . . . the guy in the Durango flipped me the bone. So I thought, "It is him!"

Where were you headed?

The buses here just started this phone thing, where you can pay that way and it shows a ticket you can display on your phone for a few hours. I have a sticker that goes on my ID badge, so I just flash that as I walk on.

It all works well and good until someone can't find their badge in their purse or something. People... Smiley: rolleyes

You people still have trees over there? Somehow I always imagined New Jersey as nothing but an endless suburb. Or maybe I missed the "good part," I don't remember much about it honestly.

We probably had this conversation before...

It's the place where they dump bodies in the Sopranos.

NJ is pretty much farmland in the Southwest, developed along the coasts, a big *** forest between the two. Then when you go north, you hit the super developed areas, and it's pretty much just a big NY suburb from there.

We're going back 30 years, but when I worked in Raritan I always thought it was kind of cool how it changed from super congested industrial mega-highways to farmland in about a mile and a half. To the east of Ortho's location was the concrete and to the west was grass. They guy who worked for me had a 275 gallon tank on his property that he kept gasoline in. He had it delivered in bulk because the nearest gas station was miles and miles away.

And then there were the cows. Pull over alongside the fence, and within five minutes they'd all amble on over.

True. We're going to get married locally (Seattle-ish) unless one of us randomly wins the lottery.

Check out Vancouver Island, Victoria-ish. There were some good deals there that we couldn't find in Seattle. Lots of flower gardens and stuff, I hear girls like that kind of thing. Clipper was a fun ride.

Yeah, New Brunswick is a city, but you go over to the Cook campus and there's a farm with cows, etc. It's weird.
