Keeping on Your Toes
Summer in San Francisco brings to mind many things: tourists, fog and, to us riders of the Fulton 5, ballerinas.
Until I got this whole big girl job thing, I never really gave the ballerinas much thought. I had seen them around school during summer session and all, but they had no impact on my life so I never gave two shits about them. Now I have to commute to big girl job every day and now I fucking hate those little brats.
(the enemy)
Every summer USF hosts ballet camps. For, like, 50,000,000 girls. And 2 or 3 guys. The kids stay at USF and then get off at 8th and Market to go to ballet class. These little brats are the bane of my existence. See, usually I don't bitch about public transport in the bay area. We have above ground, we have underground, we have ferries - we really have a pretty good system. I, out of sheer desperation, kind of even like muni. It gets me where I need to go in a more or less convenient way and is cost effective and better for the environment. That being said, muni needs more busses on its lines and instead they cut busses every year. Riding in the morning can be a bitch, especially on a popular line like the 5. I commute at a slightly off time, so there's usually no problem. That is, when the fucking ballerinas aren't around.
The first bus to come by this morning passed by full. On the second one, it was about half full but could fit in the next two or three stops worth of people. I hate the fucking ballerinas and was in a huff about them on the ride downtown. So I started counting them - 17 on my bus alone. Yep, 17. Which means all the front seats are taken (and I'm lazy and all, but I'll give an old person a seat. Not these prima donnas.) Which means the bus is extra packed. Which means, figuring a bus can fit about 60 people sardined in, almost 1/3 of it was ballerinas. And that was just my bus! I hate those damn ballerinas and they're taking up space in my bus. Those little bitches are so rude and so inconsiderate. I know a bunch of people have switched lines...but it's a trade off. Wait awhile for a packed bus....or wait indefinitely for the 21 or 31. And I do mean indefinitely. Might be 5 minutes, might be an hour.
The thing is, public transport is allocated by popularity and density. The 5 is a heavy line, but bearable normally. However, what with the strain of the ballerinas, the system breaks down entirely. And I get pissed. I don't really know what my recommended solution to all this is...maybe store the brats in the civic center? But all I have to say is those little bitches ought to be very careful walking down the stairs, if you know what I mean.
Oh and you can tell most don't have what it takes to really pursue ballet anyway. So there, face reality and give it up, bitches.

ballerinas are just dykes in the making with smashed toes. not very hot. those kids should just save themselves some time and stop eating now. then they'll be dead by 15!
and if the 5 is the popular, busy route you claim, perhaps a larger bus could potentially alleviate some of the congestion within the bus. you've seen the buses on mission and van ness, maybe one of those would work.
until then, i maintain that muni SUCKS, BART sucks (not as much)and ferries? the name says it all.
