DAMN! SHE SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A BIKE....

(Ed.'s Note: Clad with her face covering against COVID-19, this bus rider awaits the arrival of the OPI standing under a nearby light pole. Why is she so distant from the stop sign? To begin with, there is no bench at the stop sign, or any shelter from the elements, in this case, the torrid summer sun in mid-afternoon. The only bit of shade for this woman is the thin sliver of shadow thrown by the power line pole.

Scenes like this are repeated too often in our city where the municipal-owned utility spent millions squeezed from PUB ratepayers chasing an ephemeral gas-generated electric power plant and rewarded the mistaken administrators with salaries in the $300,000 range even after they admitted failure.

This particular bus stop (sign) is on a stretch of Old Port Isabel Road. This woman probably had to walk several blocks to wait for her ride. A bench made from recycled plastic would have cost a trivial sum to allow her to rest after the trek in the blazing sun. For some reason, Bus Metro and the the city administration and commission choose to splurge public funds on services for the few instead of making service to the common citizen a priority.)

Bus services needs so many improvements this comment section isn't large enough to list them.
Look at the bus services in San Antonio's website. Very comprehensive.
It could help if the City of Brownsville would follow the San Antonio plan to a tee.
Maybe things will improve.
This blog's reminder that the Bus Stops need shade is a start.
If more routes and more scheduled pickups were made available more would take the bus and more revenue would support these routes.
Maybe adding a special taxing district similar to one for the Brownsville Navigation District or BISD could allow for the needed tax base to make these improvements.
Or better yet sell the bus routes to a Taxi company or an ambulance service.

Wow! She should have educated herself and gotten a good job and bought a car? No empathy for this poor woman? Hope you never have to wait for the bus. Stand out there in the sun for just 10 minutes and see how that feels, Oh wait, you don’t have the time because you are educated and driving in your air-conditioned car to work.

Very unfortunate people, their on means of transportation is public transit. With all the millions of federal funding that Bmetro receives every year, they should invest in more bus shelters for the most needed. Our citizens deserve better conditions.

This is a fake news post from gb
But makes u believe why COB wont build BUS shelters:

"Sanjay Thakrar, CEO at Euro Exim Bank Ltd. Got economist’s thinking when he said:

A cyclist is a disaster for the country’s economy

He does not buy the car & does not take car loan
Does not buy car insurance
Does not buy Fuel
Does not send his car for servicing & repairs
Does not use paid Parking
Does not become Obese
Yes,…..and well, damn it !! Healthy people are not needed for economy.
They do not buy drugs. They do not go to Hospitals & Doctors.
They add nothing to country’s GDP.
On the contrary, every new McDonald outlet creates at least 30 jobs – 10 Cardiologists, 10 Dentists, 10 weight loss experts apart from people working in McDonald outlet.

Choose wisely: A Cyclist or a McDonald? Worth thinking about.
PS: walking is even worse. they do not even buy a bicycle."

So it's a "typical moronic racist Republican rant" to want to get educated and get a job? What's moronic and racist with that? So it wouldn't be a moronic racist Republican rant if he said that she shouldn't get educated and get a job.
Democrats....the party of unity and tolerance!!! No hate from the Democrats right?

Maybe she did educate herself
Maybe an underlying health condition made her legally blind and cant drive
Think before you comment

"Maybe legally blind and can't drive."
No mames! Eres o estas.
Have you ever thought that people that are by themselves crossing streets and taking buses are not legally blind?
Chingao. You must be a product of BISD. Are you an administrator at BISD by any chance? Este pedo ya no es aldrede. I wonder if it's genetic.

If you continue to put the same party in office and have never been invited to take part in the party, why would you expect to get any party favors? Go to a different party.
