For True Reality TV-Quality Entertainment, Take the Bus Bitch!!
Ah, the bus: for those who don’t mind spending an hour making a trip that would take five minutes by car (try going from Parker and Victoria to Kingsway and Fraser sometime) it’s an endlessly fascinating place.
Where else can you sit ass-cheek to ass-cheek with total strangers? Where else can you watch perfectly healthy subhumans obliviously plunk themselves in seats clearly designated for senior citizens and those requiring assistance?
And where else can you watch real folks engage in the kind of banter that makes you wonder why the hell you stay at home watching Real Housewives of a New Jersey Trailer Park when you could be enjoy a front-row seat to some real realityTV-style entertainment (see below).
All together now: “Get a psychologist bitch.” And try to avoid eye contact.

Yes, Vancouver bus rides would make excellent reality tv fodder, but I also highly recommend "Wheels on the Bus-Vancouver version". My friend sings this to her daughter all of the time, you never run out of lyrics...the bum on the bus says "spare some change", the cop on the bus says "show your pass", the senior on the bus says "outta my seat".

Mostly i ride buses in South Delta and White Rock-they are "class" rides....no one says anything to anyone.
In Vancouver, bus rides are sick entertainment....the bus drivers must get so tired of the daily scene though. Unfortunately some of them have been injured by crazed violent passengers. Hope they get paid well-they deserve it.
People thinking it is o.k. to act out and be violent on buses has to stop.
