So, my sister is in town and she has dinner reservations at Handle at 7 PM. I am planning on meeting her and taking the bus. I’m in Jeremy Ranch but I am going to drive to the KJ Transit Center. Buses leave every 10 minutes. So, I should be fine, right? I’ll check in along the ride.
Update 6:10pm
Arrived kJ. Planning on taking one of the electric express (ee) buses that run every 10 minutes. One ee bus is here but no driver.
6:14pm
Another ee bus arrives. Someone asks why it is 50 minutes late. Driver says everything is screwed up.
6:18pm
Driver opens up first bus and directs us on. She tells bus driver that it took 45 minutes outbound but inbound should be faster.
6:19 pm
And we are off. 9 minute wait isn’t too bad.
6:39pm
Arrive. Not bad. Traffic inbound seemed light, but that’s great. Also, since Handle is across the street from the transit center, it is almost perfect.
10:20pm
Outbound on another bus. Had to wait about 5 minutes.
10:45pm
Arrive at the KJ Transit Center.
*************************
All in all it was a good busing experience. It sounds like earlier, that the outbound buses from PC were way delayed but I didn’t experience that. I found the buses almost empty. While that may not be good overall, it made for a pleasant trip.

I was heading from a meeting in Prospector towards DV at about 6pm yesterday. Traffic was a mess. Moving, but slowly and bumper to bumper. Oddly enough, it seemed full in all directions rather than just people heading out of town. I don’t know what a bus can do in that traffic other than further down 224 where they are allowed to run along the shoulders.
Something to remember: the bus may be moving along slowly , but the alternative was a 30 minute, frustrating drive which normally takes me only 10 minutes. I wish the bus came up to our neighborhood.
