Public Transportation, always something exciting.

Jan 23, 2005 20:43

Went home this weekend by GREYHOUND. It was quite an interesting ride. Had to leave on the 6:10 PM bus because I had a class until 2:45 that day. On the first bus from Gainesville to Orlando, I sat next to this guy who talked a lot and would read off every sign that we passed and make a brief remark. He was intent on convincing me that he knew ( Read more... )

and the ride home was relatively uneventful then, i suppose?

Well, my parents drove me back so there was no threat of the aforementioned instances, lol. And plus I slept the whole ride. So yeah. ;oP

oh. my. goodness. the next time we are going home on the same weekend (I went home this weekend, too), I shall make a stop in Gainesville to pick you up. greyhound buses sound very traumatic..

Lol, ok Kristi! It was an experience....that's basically all I cna say. :oP

haha, well, as long as you're not permanently scarred by the experience. but anyhow, yes, we should do the carpool thing. much simpler. and probably cheaper too. besides, gainesville isn't that far out of the way, and we'd get to hang out.

Yes, that'd be fun! :oD

haha ... greyhound busses sound like amtrak trains ...

ahw

Hahaha, oh yeah, you and your fun train ride down to FL. Lol, yeah, I guess buses and trains attract interesting people.

redfishjewfish January 25 2005, 04:26:36 UTC

i should say so! but, contrary to popular belief, they're all pretty nice people in my experience.

ahw

Hmmm......maybe. I've ridden Greyhound two times before this trip and the other two have been relatively quiet, but I haven't actually met any nice people. However that may be because I'm not as open as you. Although the Kenson guy I was talking about in my post was pretty nice. We talked for a bit about college and high school and other randomness while we were eating at the bus station so the trip wasn't all bad. Also, ever since middle school, I've had a soft spot for bus drivers, lol, and on my last trip, one of the Greyhound bus drivers was friendly. :o)
