Well, that’s it. I clocked out from CyRide for the last time ever. It’s kindof sad… for the last couple of weeks I’ve been thinking things like “this is the last time I drive cardinal” or “this is the last time I pull into door 6,” etc. I had the same kindof feeling doing my [...]
Well that does it for my cardinal-driving days. Just finished driving my Monday night cardinal shift. Since there’s no school next week, and this is the only time I have cardinal, I never have to drive it again! Share and Enjoy:
Well, I made the official call this morning. January 22 will be my last day as a CyRide bus driver. I should really go in and try to get as many pictures as I can…. since I still (theoretically) want to work on that Buss-Stuff page of Scrambled. Earlier this week, I had talked to [...]
No longer can you ride my bus without paying… HA! I used to be a big push-over when people said they didn’t have any money, saying, “yeah, just bring double next time.” I finally learned to put my foot down. I was driving Green route and had 4 kids try to get on at the [...]

It was kindof interesting to try and remember how those things worked… since I haven’t driven one since summer. Anyway, I enjoyed [...]
Well, I’ve finally done it. I’ve worked at cyride for about 26 months and finally earned my one-year safe driver’s award. Not because I had an accident to delay it, but because it’s awarded for one year of full-time driving hours (i.e. 2080 hours). Working 20 hours a week during the school year and even [...]
On my time card at work today I see a “new run assignment at dispatch desk” note. Fearing the worst, I figured they finally cut my last two cardinals, effectively cutting about 6 hours ($60) a week from me. Surprisingly, however, I find that they added back the 20 minutes they stole a couple weeks [...]
Wow. Fun bus times today. From broken parts to hectic shifts… And I’ll ramble on about all of them! Well, let’s start at the beginning. Share and Enjoy:
