I take a shuttle bus to work every day that I can.

Today our bus broke down right by the interchange between highways 85 and 280. Luckily another bus was nearby and was able to pick us up  around 15 minutes later or so.

The buses seem to have a pretty fair amount of mechanical problems. Not too long ago, another bus breakdown made the bus more than 30 minutes late to pick us up at the light rail station and we all took our cars that day. A few weeks before that, there was a mechanical problem with the bus just after it picked us up and we had to wait for another bus to come out.

So that’s at least 3 mechanical problems there and I’ve only been working here since early August.

The bus works well most of the time, though, and is very convenient when it does.
