The Buses

Ok very quick post as it was another long day and I really want some sleep!

So I figured I'd do a quick blurb on the buses here. They have done a pretty monumental job of getting the Olympic bus system set up. Its about as large of a system that is currently running in greater Vancouver. Huge! Mostly it works fairly well. There have been a couple of issues, like early buses not showing up but thats mostly felt by the volunteer staff...which sucks for us!

One of the funniest stories has actually happened to more than one volunteer now. They board the bus and once the doors close the driver then turns to the passengers and asks for directions, I kid you not! They have gotten drivers from all over to try and staff such a large and ultimately temporary system, so many are not fully trained on the route they will be driving (or ARE driving as the case may be).

I'm working on collecting more Olympic pins now too. Just need to find the right people! We were given special medical ones which are very unique and rare which is pretty cool. Hope to find a few more nice ones. Sorry for the short post but I needs my sleep!
