i drove my first route in revenue service yesterday. it wasn't too bad. i messed up on the farebox twice and didn't do the tires any favors with respect to the curbs, but i got through it without hitting anything or anyone. and by the end of the day, i was really feeling confident about the whole thing.

i didn't realize it would be so hard to stay on schedule. if your bus is late, it's because the driver had to deploy the wheelchair ramp at the last stop and the guy with the crumpled dollar bills needed some extra time to get them all into the machine. so, please be patient.

if you want the buses to run on time, calling your city counsel to demand free public transport would go a long way toward that. the ramp deployments can't (and shouldn't!) be avoided, but it's the cash transactions that really eat up the minutes.

Techcrunch is reporting today that Uber is now going to start offering "Fixed Route Shuttles" for commuters. The shuttles will drive between pre-set stops every 20 minutes and carry multiple passengers.

Hmmm, this business model sounds strangely familiar. Kinda sorta feels like this has been done before, like in EVERY BIG CITY IN THE COUNTRY.

Today, we took a local bus to explore the area without the hassle of driving. Upon arriving in Pensarn, we found the beach windswept but still took a refreshing walk along the shore. To warm up, we stopped for a steaming mug of tea. As rain began to fall, we decided to head back to Llandudno. Once there, we treated ourselves to ice cream, followed by a comforting latte, before making our way home.
