dude. my commute home got totally fucked up because some dumbass decided to drive around the barrier arm at a train crossing. i mean, dude, sucks you;re in the hospital but it was your own damn fault.
so, because of captain stupid, the light rail was running from downtown mipples to franklin avenue station, and from ft. snelling station to the mall, but nowhere in between, where my stop happens to be. when train service is interrupted they substitute busses, but alas, it was rush hour. the operator of the train i had got on informed us that the line waiting for route 55 busses was really long. so i hopped off the train at metrodome station, crossed the tracks, and got on the first bus i saw that would get me into st. paul. it was a 3.
the problem with the 3 is that it takes a good hour to get from minneapolis to st. paul, and then it would've taken at least twenty minutes (including wait time) to get from downtown to my apartment. so i got off the 3 at the first u of mn stop, and got on the 50 that was right behind it. fifteen minutes later i got off at university and snelling, waited about thirty seconds, and got on the southbound 84 which got me to snelling and randolph ten minutes before the bus i take home every day got there.
so despite the insanely roundabout method i took, i got home at exactly the same time i do every day.
this is why i'm so awesome.
