Zuhause. Erstmal sitzen und atmen und die blutverschmierte Kleidung waschen. 😞
Ich wollte gerade in den Bus einer Kollegin einsteigen, als im inneren ein junger Mann einen älteren mit Faustschlägen bewusstlos geprügelt und dann auch noch gegen den Kopf getreten hat.
Kollegin angewiesen den Notrufknopf zu drücken und zum Opfer, das lange bewusstlos war, versucht, Hilfe zu leisten.
Der Täter hat die verschlossene Vordertür mit bloßen Händen aufgerissen und ist getürmt.

Today in Labor History March 2, 1990: Over 6,000 bus drivers went on strike against Greyhound Lines. The company declared an “impasse” in negotiations and fired nearly every one of the drivers, who they replaced with scabs. During the strike, there were numerous reports of sniping incidents, with unknown assailants shooting at, or into, Greyhound buses that were being driven by scabs. The bosses, to no ones surprise, blamed the union leaders for orchestrating the shootings.

Mein #neuhier Tröt in #Deutsch scheint den Instanzenwechsel nicht überlebt zu haben, daher hier ein mit heißer Nadel gestrickter Ersatz mit Hashtags:

Meine deutschsprachigen Themen sind meine seltsamen #Pflanzen #Katzen #Alltag (-swahnsinn) mit & ohne #Bahn und #Bus in Niedersachsen #Radfahren (wenn ich mich nach 30 Jahren doch noch wieder traue), #Digitalisierung (und was dafür gehalten wird) und was mir sonst auffällt.

Meine Tröts zu wissenschaftlichen Themen sind fast alle in Englisch.

Continued thread

aside: wow, Mastodon search has gotten a lot better! (Perhaps this is also a function of @ivory ?)

Just put in: “from:@chris before:2024-09-15 bus”

in the search bar and was immediately delivered the exact thread from 111 days ago!

Alemany and Jensen Family MastodonChris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 (@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca)Attached: 1 image I was looking at the upcoming bus 🚎 schedule for my work day commute to VIU. They generally make minor changes and release a new schedule every Spetember. Depending how I feel and the day of the week, I catch the bus at Woodgrove (North #Nanaimo), #Parksville or #QualicumBeach and take it to #VIU. I have been doing this since they started their “Intercity” run around 2008. I’ve been riding the bus system nearly every year since 1998. It has felt like this commuter service has been getting gradually worse over the years, but I never sat down and tracked it. That is until yesterday when I realized they introduced a new 33min wait time in addition to other small increases adding 45min to my journey! It’s outrageous. So I made a spreadsheet of the schedules since 2015 (the furthest back I could find schedules) and, well, it is depressing. And they wonder why they can’t encourage people to take the bus!! 😆 😠 😢 Meanwhile traffic gets worse and worse, accidents and stoppages are frequent and the rail line that follows the bus route is ignored. What are we doing!?🤦‍♂️ #transit #commuting #bus #work #life #carculture #rail

Guys!! i think my very pointed whining (with spreadsheets!) back in September to my local bus service may have borne fruit.

1) A month ago I sent an email asking for an update on getting me some historical schedules to continue my comparison and (!!) was informed the person in charge of scheduling had moved on…

2) the manager committed to get me the schedules within the month.

3) yesterday I got an email from the manager saying the schedules were ready for me to pickup. (all the way back to 2000!)

4) Today I see this service notice for changes coming January 5 which includes additional buses and, most interestingly *3* changes to the Qualicum-Woodgrove including increased service and 'minor route changes’.

They haven't published the schedule itself yet but hope springs eternal that this could be an improvement that allows me to get back on the bus more often! This fall has been the least I have taken the bus in probably 15 years purely out of deteriorating schedules.

🤞🤞🚋

Sigh. It's a not a Metro, it's a bus. Politicians cannot be trusted with naming anything nowadays, they've been brainwashed by marketing people.

TÜV-Report: Fast jeder vierte Bus hat technische Mängel

Viele Busse fahren laut TÜV mit technischen Mängeln auf Deutschlands Straßen. Besonders häufig betroffen sind Beleuchtung, Motoren und Antriebe. Technische Defekte spielen bei Unfällen dennoch eine geringe Rolle.
