Some bus systems have bullshit anti-homeless policies against people riding to the end of the line and then staying on when the bus returns in the other direction. I wasn't aware that GRTC had that policy, but maybe they do? Either way, it's annoying and the driver should just let you get on the bus rather than endangering your life crossing a road without a crosswalk.
Also, it's awful that there's no crosswalk near your stop :(.

Reply to RVA, please help support a local small business and fight the Cleveland Guardians! by stayintall
All I can afford right now is to wish Noah luck, as this is going to be an uphill battle. From all of the trademark lawsuits that I've read over the past two decades, ranging from small breweries to clothing, I think only one was successful in arguing that their logo was different enough that the case was tossed, and that 'C' style they're using has been trademarked by Cleveland baseball since 1915. Even the companies that argued fair use under parody exceptions have failed in each of the cases I've read about...
...so, here's hoping that Noah and Charged become the 2nd case I'm following that will succeed...

just bc you got a gun doesnt mean you can sit on your high horse bossing people around and telling them what to do
and whenever their ego gets harmed and people tell them to get off their high horse they get so mad

Have four friends push you in neutral. Great workout. Great memories. Costs a few six packs and pizza

The problem is the philosophy they learn when working in LE. They are trained to neutralize any possible threats. That’s it. It will never change and this is the reason I do not trust cops at all.
They’re not there to serve and protect.

The police claimed the kid headbutt the officer. It wasn’t written in the report and there doesn’t seem to be any evidence to back it up.
That’s why the mother is asking what happened.
We know police lie. Police are allowed to lie. Police aren’t required to protect people. Police will protect themselves.

You go to Wawa for food at 12 pm. You go to Sheetz for food at 12 am.

Even before Wawa moved to Florida as mentioned, Wawa is everywhere in Hampton Roads which is further south than Petersburg. The furthest south one would have been the one off 168 at Hillcrest Parkway on the way to the Outer Banks

In my opinion/experience, getting out of the Granite Hill neighborhood before that light went in was gambling with your life. People fly thru the Food Lion intersection, so making a left out at that intersection at Melbourne was a blind crapshoot.

This bus always loops around, which is why it was so weird to me! They only relieve the bus driver/change out busses at the start of the route near willow lawn.

I was agreeing with you. Paid or not, I don’t think the driver dictates whether you can ride or not.

...it is the correct bus, otherwise I would not be home. And it's free.
Edit: I see what you're saying now, I thought you meant it was my fault I got on the wrong bus or something.
jacksonwarg t1_j2bstgm wrote
Is it possible that the driver knows that you are staying on from the end of one route to the beginning of another (when it loops around) and that they don't necessarily always loop around? Like say their shift ends or they have a break and another bus take over the route. I don't ride that much but it doesn't seem totally unreasonable that they would consider each direction a separate route, and have a reason or policy against letting people just stay on.
Davidm241 t1_j2bsshc wrote
I have never ridden a bus, but I was under the impression that if you paid, you ride. It’s your responsibility to make sure you are on the right bus.
