For those of you that take public transportation (no, airport shuttle does not count), you know that taking the city bus or subway is a place where you stepped on, sat on, screamed at, or at least find yourself judging other people's inabilities to wash themselves. Simply put, it's the most annoying part of the day. Well not today, my friends... not today...
As I boarded the 30x bus this morning I was greeted by one cool-cat bus driver, "Goooooooood morning, miss!" In addition, he was jamming some serious tunes. This wasn't just any music - it was smooth jazz.
I thought good for this guy, bringin some music for himself... but as I went to the very back of the bus I realized that either his secretly stored boom box had some serious range, or he had rigged the speakers on the bus to blast the saxophone melodies.
Note that city bus speakers are only used to verbally heard passengers like cattle: "For the convenience of the passengers, please move to the back of the bus," "Please reserve the front seats for seniors and persons with disabilities," etc.
But today, none of these messages were played. The bus driver preferred the sweet sounds of Kenny G. And so did I.
