@ OiSkout: Which college in Boston? I go to BC right now, and our shuttle buses are often filled with people who've had too good a time on a Saturday night. Hilarious to watch.


Once a guy (who was standing in the bus) threw up on this girl. Bus driver pretended it was nothing and kept going.

Went to Boston Uni, graduated in 2007. I've been to BC like ... twice haha. Yea, the T does suck, especially because it closed early. Although I lived right at Kenmore Sq my first 2 years, then the next 2 I lived a few blocks away so travelling to party/bar was semi-far, but it's do able. All those bars in Allston were pretty awesome, I remember kids would travel from like BC and Wentworth all the way to our off-campus housing to party, yet they lived so damn far.

I remember my friend who went to Binghamton told me this story of like a shuttle bus they had for partying. They were coming back and if you puked, you had to pay extra money. So one of their friends pukes on the bus, and the bus drivers like WTF, who was it?! So they blamed some poor kid who was trying really hard not to puke. Since he knows he already lost, he tugged on his sweatshirt to turn it into a bucket, and scooped it all into it ...

I tried not to chuckle as i got on as they all stood there being all serious with their guitars, it looked quite amusing.

Was this bus driven by David Lynch?

my worst expirence of public transport was when I was getting the bus home from school and 2 pikeys behind me though it fun to try and set my hair on fire.

My most wierd was the other week when I was getting the train up to London. when i went to get on the train I was greated by someone in harry potter costume with a massive group of people dressed as harry potter characters. Then I realised it was my friends that I was going to the london Dungeons with. I was the most akward walk through london with a group of harry potter characters.

a mate of mine was sick out the window of a HST after a night out drinking, he got off the train and his chuck was covering the side of 2 carages...

why does it take me 3 hours to get from my uni home to my parents on the train...
it takes a more direct route and travels at 125 MPH but still i can get there in 2.5 hours when i drive and take the motorway doing 70...

My experienxe occured just a couple of weeks ago when i was travelling on the bus to the school and a boy hops in at the bus-stop next to mine, the driver said ''good morning'' to boy and he mumbles something in response but then the bus driver yells to the boy and still doesn't get anything in response... then everyone laughed

I'm living in a college town and the bus system here is efficient, fast and less crowded than at home.

At home, the bus system is annoying slow and it's impossible to find a seat on the bus. Sometimes it's quicker for me just to walk to the mall than to take the bus. I wish I had a license but I failed the last test and it's a four month waiting period and it's not possible to schedule a test on the weekend.
