Yes, it is true. I am riding the public transit system in Tucson (is that an oxymoron?) commonly called Sun Tran. I ride this with the most interesting array of characters imaginable. The morning bus is usually quiet (also at 6:15am) and the riders usually keep to themselves.
The evening bus, however, is a very different story. This bus...is well...lets say varied with the happenings and those who take advantage of this transit system.
Take tonight for example. I walk to the bus stop to find a young man and an older women waiting for the bus. Not thinking much of them (and enjoying some good Social Distortion) I take my place at the stop and wait along with the others. The bus comes, we load, and take our seats. About 10 minutes into the ride, I hear the older lady in front of me, yes the same one as the stop, yelling at the driver. Now if you know anything about Social Distortion, you know that they are a punk band. So for me to hear this lady over my music, she had to be yelling pretty loud. Anyways, the driver stops and she exits the bus, while 2 teenage boys get on and I notice one of them has a...well...funny cigerette in their hand.
They sit down and our journey continues. We stop again and 2 large women get on the bus and proceed to sit right next to each other in front of me. Well my view out the windshield is completely blocked by this point so I just have to look out the other windows to find my way.
I reach my stop and exit the bus headed home through the shopping center at Flowing Wells and Prince. My journey takes me up near the shops where I glance in every now and then. Well I reached the corner shop (a Cashing Check Place) and glance into the windows. That is when I notice all 3 trash cans are tossed onto the ground and the trash was strewn all about the establishment. It appeared to me that someone threw a fit and took it out on the trash cans. VERY MATURE!!!!!!!!!!!!.
As I stated earlier Sun Tran is never just a boring ride home.
