#public transit appreciation

[metrotransitposter]

people talk about places like the cc club and oar folkjokeopus when talking about important places in the twin cities underground scene but the bus was also important and got us songs like “kiss me on the bus”

The Class E11 was the first electric locomotive class built in the GDR, with production starting in 1961. Pictured here is 211 001-3 in the Deutsche Bahn Museum in Nuremberg.

The factory where it was built carried the name of Hans Beimler, who among other things served as a political officer in the famous Thälmann-Batallion for the International Brigades in the spanish civil war, where he was killed in action. In his earlier life he was working in a locomotive factory in Nuremberg, where he was part of the works council. His Grandson (also called Hans Beimler) lives in the USA and most notably wrote for Star Trek TNG.

An Ode to the City Bus

before i could walk, you carried me

you rocked me through traffic like a cradle, your arms have always felt safe

I have been on many a subway, streetcar, skytrain,

but none can compare to you

you hold me tightly, as if I am a doll in your dollhouse, until I reach my little doll destination, and go about my little doll life

and when I am through with all my little doll errands, I slide back into your familiar seats and allow you to cart me home, watching familiar scenes roll by as if this is a movie I know by heart

headlights flicker past like fireflies through your screens and i count them one by one

when we arrive at my stop, I call my thanks to the driver and navigate the small streets of my neighborhood home, knowing you will be there again every 30 minutes or so between the hours of 6:30a.m. and 10p.m.if I need you

just as you have always been

Favourite public transportation?

my city’s public transport is kinda awful and i live in suburbia where there isn’t any, so… sidewalks? love me a nice smooth wide sidewalk with ramps up n down the curbs

oh and i was on a nearby city’s metro once, that was pretty nice!!

5 year dog plan updates: I think I've identified a breed (and 3 potential breeders), I have more clearly figured out what I don't want and what my life style will not fit and most important I need more experience with dogs in general

take the 3 metro transit local bus route to the great minnesota get together and take in the sights of downtown mpls, both mpls and st paul umn campuses, many cool mpls and st paul neighborhoods and also the knowledge that you could stay on the bus and go to union depot and get on a train to chicago or portland or seattle and not tell anyone and just disappear with no warning and imagine how easy it would be like just think about it i know you’re thinking about it wouldn’t it be fun to see if you could pull it off and while you’re thinking about it you can explore the minnesota state fair

taking the bus is excellent I get to see all my different friends (the bus routes)

Fortune Cookie: "An Important person will offer you aid."

Bus: *arrives at the bus stop late, but at the exact moment I am walking by*

Me: "Ah. Just as the cookie foretold."

Love letter to my bus route and the drivers that, despite their best, most concerted efforts, always end up a few minutes late to my stops, no matter where on the route they are.

They are trying their best and also their tardiness is welcome and appreciated, as I am somehow chronically late to the bus stop that is 5 feet (exaggeration) from my apartment and without them I would be late to class every day and my professor would dislike me and I would be sad.

I miss my little camera baby. He is called Feliks and it's now almost a year since I had to send him to a repair shop because of issues with his shutter brakes. Unsurprisingly there's a dwindling supply of spare parts and all that. Get well soon, Feliks!

[aliosne]

Love to leave for work almost an hour early so I can grocery shop only to have one bus cancelled, a second bus that would still get me to work early is late and may miss its transfer, and basically fuck me five ways
