this bus update sucks! Yesterday (Thursday) I got on the D72 northbound expecting to go to Van Ness, was inexplicably told the bus would only go to Porter and to take the next one, got on the next one and that went one block up Mt. P and kicked everyone out. Missed my event and had to Uber.
Today (Friday), 5pm, I’m walking distance to 3 different routes heading downtown and not a single bus is within 15 minutes of me. What were you thinking? EVERYONE wants (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Worst newly placed bus stop – in the right turn only lane on Nebraska, eastbound. When there’s a green turn arrow to turn onto Military, but the bus is in front of you, needing to go straight!!! URGH. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was waiting at Metro center at like 10:30pm last Thursday night for the Orange Line train and a guy said something to me. He got right up in my face when I didn’t reply so I finally took out one of my earbuds and said “what?!” He said “You have a spider on your back!!” It was a weird vibe and (more…)
