From Nashville: "[Feel Good Friday] - The Long Way Around Edition," by Bus Rider X

I’m a very loud proponent of “reasonable driver discretion” as they are out there, every day. They see the same passengers, every day. They get to know people and their routes in ways that the boob at the desk who plans up routes, detours, and makes policy may just not get.

I take 4 buses a day: 2 to work and 2 home from work. My second morning bus goes by a state office building. There is a woman with limited mobility (she walks with a cane). This bus drops her off right outside the door.

Yesterday morning, the road was closed due to construction and the Official Detour had us going way off yonder and no where near this building. (Read more here.)
