They say that being pissed off is better than being pissed on (unless you are into that kind of thing).
So I was riding the bus the other day and I missed the 4:00 a.m. bus AGAIN! I was pissed to say the least and I sent a text to the CTA to see when the next bus was coming. It messaged back that another bus wasn't due until 5:00 a.m. I started walking to Ashland to catch my alternate route but then a bus materialized out of thin air before I got to Ashland. WTF?! Well, I decided to ride that bus because I wanted to see what happened with the Red Line renovations. After all, the mayor was talking big shit on the TV about how well things went.
Well, first the buses were running like shit and I think they did that on purpose to take your mind off those damned Ventra cards. We got within 500 feet of the Dan Ryan and they made everyone get off the bus and switch buses. The bus took so long moving afterwards that I decided to walk that last 500 feet. I made it there before the bus but just missed a train by 15 seconds. Before the renovation that would have meant anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes added to the trip. I am happy to announce that another train was 7 minutes behind that one. Well, that was the only good thing about that situation because the station looked as though all they did was slap some paint on it and called it done. What's worse is that it only took one day for someone to desecrate it be peeing on the platform. Why is it that people pee on the CTA platforms? If not that then they pee in the elevators. Didn't your mommy ever make you go before you went anywhere? No more drinks for you before any trip.
Back to the train. The mayor was talking much shit about how the train would not have to go 15 miles an hour and the ride would be smoother and faster. I believe it may have been because I think we went 17 miles an hour from 69th to 63rd. Man, did I make up that time or what?
Anyway, my grade for the new Red Line is a solid C-. ( I gave them extra credit for adding the elevators to the stops that did not have them. Ya-a-a-aY! More places for people to pee!
