I would sometimes play a game where I would walk to the next bus stop so I had something to do while waiting for the bus when there was a long wait or significant delay. Then I'd get to the next stop, check the new delay, realize I could probably walk to the next stop and still catch the bus. Repeat this a couple times and half the time I'd beat the bus to my destination.

Would suck to see the bus pass you as you're walking to the next stop

this happened to me the other day. the worst part, there was some Irish cop funeral happening, and there were a bunch of uniformed cops talking on the sidewalk. so i had to walk through them once, where i could feel them all looking at me, and then i saw by bus zoom past me.

then to add insult to injury i had to angrily walk back through the group of sad Irish cops 🥲

Years ago I'd do this with the 57 in the morning but when the weather was bad I'd walk upstream to get a better chance at a seat. A few times I made it from St Elizabeth's nearly the whole way to Oak Square before finally getting a bus.

This used to just be my regular commute.
