Headphones are your remedy for hateful humans in the vicinity, but as far as the time delays go, well, LA public transportation sucks. In SF, it almost doesn't suck at all. So move to SF, I guess, to save the environment.
You all are such babies. Public Transportation like yours is wat people here, developing countries and the "Axis of Evil" would die for having. Its good that you people only shift within the US cause by any chance you shifted outside you would die of exhaustion just standing in line to buy a ticket on the local train or metro or even standing during the 2hr bus ride to your work place. Oh and all this after atleast 20min walk and 30 min wait....
SO grow up and stop whining and complaining and learn to look at things in perspective a little wider than Ws.
I will give the English one thing - they know how to share small spaces without getting on your tits. And queue without being dicks about it.
Ha the power of heart, what a loser. He must have hated the other cooler planeteers with their wicked awesome powers.
At some stage did Captain Planet turn evil coz of corrupted polluted rings or something? Happy days.
Planeteers Alert - Captain Planet will die if you litter kids.
Try public transportation in NYC. It makes you hate everybody, everywhere - and right quick. The thing is, since everybody else hates everybody, you all get to share a mutual hatred. And there's an important understanding there... Like when that crazy sonofabitch gets on the train, and everybody looks at each other like "oh shit, there's Mr. Crazy Triestosingformoneyandcrapshispants". And then everybody realizes that they don't hate everybody afterall, just the crazy people who won't just die from starvation or something already.
FOR REAL, Don. Captain Planet always had to bail their asses out, except that they usually couldn't summon him because they lost their rings like idiots. And don't even get me started on Ma-Ti.
I did love how Captain Planet would act all powerful and badass until one of the villians would splash him with dirty water and he'd get all weak and die.
And Jill, I have the entire opening song memorized, including the Planeteer rap and Looten Plunder's angry vow of revenge.
You know, I used to ride the bus. Now I drive a truck. Even better because I can keep people behind me even further away because of the bed....public transport in this country--not fun at all.
I could never understand why the kids didn't just combine their powers to make Captain Planet at the start of every episode and just let him deal with whatever was the problem that week while they just stayed at home and watched tv.
I knew the LA buses were not for me after I sat next to a man who kept pulling up his pants and shirt in order to scratch his open sores. Unlike SF and NY there is a lack of normals on the buses and trains here.
Bugger--now I'll be singing the damn Captain Planet theme song.
Captain Planet, he's our hero.
Gonna take pollution down to zero.
I don't know why I know that.
Which is exactly why I'm keeping a car, despite the guilt and enviro-damage!
Of course, I may try to get a Prius, but if not, oh well...
I am one of those people who insists that I like public transportation. Sometimes it feels like insisting I like chewing drywall--simply saying the words will somehow make them true. Say the words! Anyway, this is in Delaware, which I also insist I like living in (chew, chew). The buses are usually okay (really), because it's a small state and not much changes, so not much can really go wrong. One of my favorite episodes occurred recently--the intercounty bus, which I and a nonchanging group of people ride every day, came early for no reason and drove off merrily without its usual load. One of the regulars, who also works for the bus company, made an angry call to the dispatcher, who then called the bus driver and made him do a u-turn to pick everybody up. It's like going to camp.
No no no! it's just not possible that somebody could be inspired by the English public transport system. So infrequent, expensive and delayed. And the people. Sorry, it's something of a pet peeve! Hope you had a good time here in Britain
I guess I should have known there were cameltoe fetishists, but honestly, it shocked me.
oh I SO feel you. I moved to SF last year after a lifetime in the suburbs and have not yet adjusted at ALL to the idea of riding a bus with OTHER PEOPLE. very slowly when I could be driving my car very quickly. My one bus trip spawned an entire blog entry which was promptly moccked by my urban friends.
You have my sympathy. I don't drive and live in a small town so I'm lucky there is bus service. But as I am a hateful snob I wish they screened who they let on. Nothing like a screaming child/eau du rancid alchoolic cocktail to make your stomach wad right up in your mouth.
