| - Remember the opening scene of Office Space, where Peter Gibbons is stuck in traffic? He looks over to see a geezer with a walker who is moving faster than he is.
Substitute YOU , sitting in the Deuce on LV Blvd, and substitute hordes of drunk tourists for the geezer with the walker and you'll have an idea of what riding (and by riding I mean sitting while stationary) the Deuce is like.
Having said that, everyone should ride the Deuce at least once. Some love it, some hate it, some merely endure it because it is, in fact, an inexpensive way to get up and down the strip. Fast it's not. Clean? No, not so much. Fun? It can be. It can also be smelly and horrifying in that GET ME OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW way.
Minus one star for a company that clearly is ok with an employee (the driver) who sports, I shit you not, 10 inch fingernails. Especially disgusting to watch this driver eating a Big Mac while simultaneously driving, shouting at the aforementioned hordes of drunken tourists for falling off the sidewalk, delivering a running commentary on not standing in the stairwell, and operating the door of the bus with those greasy, nasty fingernails. Yikes.
I am no stranger to public transportation. It is a very necessary part of life in any big or crowded city. I just prefer other methods of getting around. Also, I'm a bit of a bitch, right?!? But for what it is, the Deuce serves a good purpose.
