new public transit methods...when everything old is new again.

30.  SHAT.  Where "SHAT" is short for "ScavHunt Authority for Transit."  Your public rickshaw service has two lines: The 1, which runs between 3h75 and 6h25 from Cobb to Kent and the 2, which runs during the same hours from BioMall to Harper.  Runs should be at least semi-hourly during weekdays.  [171 points.  35 bonus points if you notice that the acronym should be "SHAfT", and, as such, deck out your 'shaw accordingly.  10 bonus points if, on top of that, you have a Rick James shaw.  10 bonus points if your 'shaw also doubles as a Thurn und Taxi]

thanks to this item, the first two days of my 2003 Scav Hunt involved a lot of walking and pushing.  they were clearly some ad hoc rickshaws...Palevsky apparently had a vaguely classy ride, but Shoreland's were made out of whatever we had on hand.  i remember at least some were made of shopping cards; i think others were made of luggage carts as well.  i was one of the rickshaw drivers (pushers?!) running the 2.

you know what's a haul?  the BSLC to Harper, when you're pushing random students around.

however, i really wish i had gotten the "Thurn und Taxi" reference back then.  Thurn und Taxis is one of my favourite board games nowadays, and it's all about mail routes -- a reference to the Thurn und Taxis family who was so involved in European postal services several centuries ago.  doing a clandestine mail service would have been great.

(however, Thurn und Taxis was apparently also involved in the brewery industry.  smuggling beers along with students could have also been pretty amazing.)
