Campus shuttle

I decided the take the shuttle on campus today instead of walking across it. It was scary. There were multiple times I wanted to ask the driver if he remembered he was driving bus and not a Smart Car. The sound effects of the seats rattling and banging about was an awesome addition to fear factor. I can't forget the the braking method. It was the sudden type that made you slide down the bench 3 inches. I had a difficult time convincing my hand that it was okay to release the death grip on the handrail when it was time to get off. I would totally blame it on the bus driver, but the driver switch part way through and the new one drove in the almost the exact same manner.

The shuttles remind me of bugs because of how their side mirrors are placed. They are look like antennas.

Oh fun it sounds like it could be a new ride at Lagoon. "Come on everybody to the new Shuttle ride. It is a white knuckled ride, with unexpected turns, and is guaranteed to thrill!"

I'm guessing you will be walking from now on.
