Is anyone else surprised (not) that the buses are more reliable when they run a skeletal service on strike days than they are when operating normally?
This is the 4th 409 I've been on today, supposedly a 10 minute service, each time I've waited almost 30 minutes, then 2 or 3 have turned up nose to tail.

We had a in my city/suburban sprawl area yesterday. Drivers are being paid $7/hr lower than in the state capital, less than an hour's drive away. Private company on government contract.

Not long ago one of our local drivers took my son's soccer ball back to the depot and inflated it and returned it in the afternoon (my pump was broken). Our bus drivers deserve shitloads more than an extra $7/hr, they are out there being wholesome grandparents to everyone. PAY GRANDPA. PAY THEM ALL.
