This has been a very aggravating evening between the traffic and the buses having no sort of regular schedule. I went up to my storage space and waited 15 minutes for a No. 7 or No 11 bus to take me to 106th Street. Given that two buses run Amsterdam Avenue, it's ridiculous to be waiting long for either bus. After 15 minutes, a No 7 showed up followed by another No 7! I got to the storage space, gathered what I needed and waited for 30 minutes for a No 11 bus going downtown, According to the posted schedule, there should have been three arriving at Columbus and 107th Street between 7:40 and 8:10. A bus finally arrived, followed by another! Are the buses afraid to travel alone? Must they herd?
God, I'm starting to really hate the MTA because they're probably using their claims of having no money to cut the schedules back. If they want to make money, they should start charging the damned free-riding kids who take all the seats and force us paying old folks to stand. Fuckem.
I also dn't understand why, for a two year lease I should pay rent for two years at $9900 a year when for a one-year lease I'd only be paying next year $9300! Shouldn't the damned 2-year lease be the money saver?
