Hey #hillsbus your braking distance alarms work just fine - it has been triggering ever since leaving Wynyard! Maybe, just maybe, you should a) instruct the drivers what they mean, b) record and report how much they triggered on a trip, and c) record which driver was active at the time. Inversely match the %age of time to %age of pay increase. #specialpeople #drivingbuses #thanksforthejapanesewatertorture #nonstop #beeping #makeitstop #headache #nodrugs (at Beecroft, Pennant Hills)

FUCK YOU PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Congratu-fucking-lations Hillsbus, you were fucking 20 minutes late, on a bus route that has a bus every 5 minutes. Thanks to you ASSHOLES, I am both LATE for tafe, AND I am going to be hungry because I have to skip a meal. Not only that, but the bus I am on is filled with people that piss me the fuck off on public transport; motherfucking loud speakers! What is worse is that they are not talking english. The bus driver on this bus is incompitent, I feel like murder is a good idea (yay i am in recession with the 2014 me, thanks asshole)! Just, FUCK! now that you are FUCKING late AND i have an incompetant driver, I am going to have the planned day RUINED!!!! So, Fuck you, Fuck ALL of you hillsbus... I am so pissed that I HAVE to use your busses. fucksnz FUCK!

[f-lame]

so today was the epitome of the reasons why i am getting my P's (that is my provisional drivers license)... fucking waited for 2 buses to come and neither came. i sat at the bus stop for 2 and a half hours... and i had 2 buses which were meant to arrive in that time and neither came... HOW IS THAT FUCKING POSSIBLE?!?!?! FUCKKKK YOUUU HILLSBUS YOU PIECES OF SHIT

plus last night i had one hour of sleep since i was studying for the test today, in which i most likely failed. Then I sit at the bus stop for 2 and a half hours. then call my mum with 3% battery left on my iphone so that she can pick me up. wait another 30 mins for her to come. by then i was out of battery and we never talked about where to meet up cause my phone ran out of battery during the call, meaning i had to walk to each spot i thought she might pick me up and look around for her. NOW i have to go grocery shopping with dad, and i really fucking hate him and don't want to spend 2 hours with him pushing around a trolley shopping for 7 ppl... and then after that i'm going out tonight with Renee..... ALL WHILST RUNNING ON 1 HOUR OF SLEEP.

I woke up this morning, felt terrible and I forgot my wallet in my mum's car. It started raining and it was miserable. I failed Modern History and English. It started to rain again. They kicked us off the #hillsbus. Now just #walking home with besties. #publictransportisforpeoplewhodontlikerainbows (at The end of the rainbow)

Hills Bus route 618

My first thought when leaving my apartment this morning was "Am I going to miss the bus today?" I think this must be every 'Hills Bus' commuter's thought when they leave their abode to get to work each day.

Being a Hills Bus commuter is tough because every day you put your life in the hands of the Hills Bus drivers. You never know if it's just pure luck that you catch the bus or if it's due to your military-precision planning.

My name is Bao Tram and I'm a Hills Bus commuter. I used to work in the city where my total commuting time was 15 minutes door-to-door but my project team must have pissed off some senior executives, as recently we were relocated to a little place called 'Norwest Business Park', located 39km north west of Sydney CBD. My daily commute time has increased to 1 hour and 30 minutes each way, for a total daily commute of 2.5hrs extra.

A positive person might think of this as a blessing, as I now have extra time to day dream and nurture my random thoughts. Being a less positive person, I hate the early mornings and wasted time spent on the bus. I especially hate waiting around for the late buses or buses that never arrive at all.

Why don't I just quit and find a job closer to home? I'm doing this because I'm working with friends on my current project and I don't want to let them down. Maybe I'm just a whiney person that likes to feel sorry for herself. Whatever the reasons, I'm pretty much stuck with this until I can't stand it any longer and run away.

The upside of a long commute, though, is the extra time to day dream, so this blog will collect the random thoughts of a Hills Bus Commuter.
