Public Transportation is just as bad here. The subways are the worst here though. You have the armpit in your face or ass in your face choice and you have to watch out for rats the size of cats! It is so nasty. I prefer to take my chances and just walk to the twenty or thirty blocks to my destination rather than choose public transportation. The only thing you have to worry about when walking are gypsies and homeless people touching you. Maybe one day they will reinvent public transportation so it won't be so disgusting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-1476403670935826712011-05-16T10:46:46.621-04:002011-05-16T10:46:46.621-04:00lol, it's no laughing matter really but you pu...lol, it's no laughing matter really but you put it across so vividly I just had to laugh, being subjected to it myself on many occasions :) <br /><br />Try the Water Taxi if you're going to Town, I love the experience on the boat. The water in the Gulf is calm so no motion sickness and the seats are wide and spacious enough to stretch out and fall asleep in. Clean and air conditioned too :) the only thing is the fishy smell at the dock while waiting on it. Oh! and the new coaches to and from San Fernando and POS are really nice too, better than the regular buses in that they're faster (fewer stops) and the system is just plain better. You'll find more business people using the new coaches and the water taxi also so less chance to meet the more interesting types :PKaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777669933144433465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-45557218513195974212011-05-16T04:42:44.688-04:002011-05-16T04:42:44.688-04:00I really enjoyed your post today 'Babe' (h...I really enjoyed your post today 'Babe' (hee hee) You had me laughing all through with your colourful description an just the right amount of cynacism. At least you're not sniffing armpits in the sultry buses of London at the moment.<br />Great post.<br />XOXOCarol E Wyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375439814725846546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-32849463299954015842011-05-15T13:04:43.086-04:002011-05-15T13:04:43.086-04:00I'm sorry, but "Babes?" Really? Wish...I'm sorry, but "Babes?" Really? Wish it didn't have to be that way with public transportation - it's become weirdo-central and the one day you don't have your personal space assaulted by groping, thieves, or another person's bad hygiene or lack of couth or proper up-bringing is, in fact, a treasured good day! But feeling of needing to shower afterward is ever-present, isn't it?Val https://www.blogger.com/profile/17756024122711114873noreply@blogger.com
