Uh oh. The next bus departure listed on PTV is 2:46. Which is a time that is in the past. Personally I subscribe to the idea that time only moves forwards and never backwards, however when I ride PT I always end up feeling like perhaps I need to put some stock in that reversing time theory.

Jokes aside, the tracker thing is working now (it wasn’t earlier), and shows the bus as being on its way from the depot. So I think the bus that was running before must have broken down so they’re replacing it with a different bus. I was on the bus earlier and it was sounding a bit unhealthy. The brake hold thing/handbrake they use when stopped was making a horrid noise when it was released, and the bus hadn’t been fitted with a tracker (at least not one hooked into the PTV API)

Edit: the bus showed up, 7 minutes late (unusual for this route). Same bus as I was on before, just with an angrier bus driver. No clue what all that was about, but google thinks my bus is delayed 2 hours and 34 minutes and seems confused about how I’m on a bus at all

Edit edit: he ran a red light and seemed to be a huge fan of braking (why brake in advance when you could just wait until the last minute and slam the brakes as hard as they can go?)
