Last night marked the second time in a week that I waited 30 minutes or more for a 71B in the freezing cold rain. I was 5 minutes early for the bus I was trying to catch. I can understand a delay during rush hour, but this was not. The bus was running every 20 minutes both times, according to the PAT schedule. When I gave up last night and went into my apartment, it was an additional 10 minutes before the bus went by...So let's review: I waited a total of 45 minutes for a bus that was supposed to be coming past every 20 minutes. For shame!
From now on, I'll be hoofing it across the East End instead of buying a bus pass. It will be cold, but at least I'll be moving.
