Yesterday I was coming home by bus. The bus route I take goes straight through downtown since my current home and my current office are on opposite sides of the city. The city has special "bus only" freeways but these vanish and become part of the normal street system once you hit downtown.
I left work at 5 o'clock. At five-fifteen we hit downdown. At five-thirty we had moved exactly one bus length. I asked the driver to let me off and then walked up the main drag of downtown. There was literally end to end buses there. It was like some strange disconnected train. They were moving perhaps once every five minutes in about two or three meter increments. I walked the ten/twelve blocks to cross the downtown area and boarded the next bus to get me home. Once we were back on the transitway the trip was ten minute to my place.
Surrealist thing I've seen since moving here.
