Shuttle Bus-ted
So, your class just finished and it’s time for you to head to the next one. Unfortunately, it’s located on the other campus. But you figure, “Hey, this isn’t so bad, I have 40 minutes to get there.”
You then mosey on over to wait for the bus, and figure you might as well check the schedule. You stare at it quizzically. After you skim up and down the list and triple check you finally realize that you’re actually not illiterate—there really is a big fucking question mark pulsating between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 6:20 p.m.
You make the calculation in your head and realize that you’ll probably have just one chance to make the bus in order to make it to your next class on time.
But look at that—a bus is already pulled to the curb. Sweet.
…Or not. You soon realize that the driver you believed to be standing outside awaiting your arrival is apparently taking a break for an hour, over the course of which an eighth of the entire student body of Concordia piles up into a line.
The STM maintains that the average Montreal city bus can hold around 80 people. In theory, that’s a lot of people—but judging by the current line-up for the shuttle, you’re standing in the position of approximately passenger 92.
What the hell are you supposed to do? Take the Metro? Maybe that will work. Oh wait, you didn’t buy a pass this month because the school offered an “efficient” shuttle bus service!
When jumping onto the back of a delivery truck seems like the most rational way to get to class, maybe the school needs to brush up on their services.
