First Week Tappan Zee Express Summary

I found that I can stand it on the bus. Most trips are only 40 minutes, even in bad traffic. I don't do much better with the truck.

I discovered that the seats or so cramped and that the bus bounces around so much that it is nearly impossible to type on the computer. I keep bringing it, though, in case the bridge backs up and we are not moving for a long period of time.

Today, the day be for the long Fourth of July Weekend, I discovered one very bad thing about the commute. My boss usually lets us out an hour early before a holiday. My bus normally leaves at 4:30. The next earlier bus leaves at 3:08. He came to my cubicle at 3:15 and told be I could go home. I am stuck here until 4:30, no matter what.

Last week I watched a guy on the curtosy seat with his laptop, riding the ETS. He seemed like he was coping quite well for a big guy.

You make it sound like your riding one of those yellow school buses. Other then the time delay, the trip can't be all that bad can it?

It seems like a third world bus to the back country. The bus goes up to 40 mph, bouncing over the bad roads and taking the corners tight. The seats are narrow and my knees are butted up against the seat in front of me.
On the plus side, the air conditioning works.
