After riding the CT Transit buses for 25 years, it's amusing to see posts here usually about Whitney Ave. because the rest of us are just glad to survive the trip. The J and Q lines are pleasure cruises compared to the rest of the city.
If the bus is 20 minutes late, that's average. If it's a weekend you might be waiting hours. Try riding the B bus on a Friday night, if you survive.
Most CT Transit drivers will tolerate almost anything from riders, including falling-down drunk, open drug deals, non-payment, and verbal abuse of other passengers.
Or how about when the driver will have his window open but the AC blasting so that everyone else is freezing. If he stomps on the brake and gas, that means he learned to drive south of the border.
These are union jobs. The company's business model is to charge almost nothing and deliver the same.
None of this will change until someone comes in with a new broom and fires half the company, and raises the fares to keep out the dregs.
