NO BENCHES OR SHELTERS FOR THEM LIKE FOR THE BIKE RIDERS

(Ed.'s Note: Every time we have inclement weather we are reminded - and shamed - at the callousness of the City of Brownsville and the Brownsville Urban System toward it's bus riders, the majority of them low-income residents. While we can funnel millions to Rose Gowen's hike and bike trails and include sheltered rest stops, scenes like this of shoppers toting their bags waiting for a southbound bus across Old Port Isabel Road from the Walmart in the rain make us question their priorities. 

The elderly, children and entire families weather the elements to take their purchases to their homes. BUS released a list of the next sites to have a bus shelter, and this one is not included. The owner of the house once placed a sofa at the stop for people to sit while they wait, but a city maintenance crew removed it. 

How about it Rose? Now that you got yourself appointed to the chairmanship of the Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation with it's annual $6 million in sales tax revenue, sister can you spare a few bucks and a dime from your pet projects and throw them a crumb and have a shelter put up there? After all, it's from sales tax, and as you can see, they're kicking in into the kitty so it's also their money.)

You are obsessed with this, Montoya. Why don't you roust a few of your VFW pals and go build some? Do for your community. Your tireless bitching has not helped. FACT.

Juan is "Mr. Bus Shelters," since 1969.
Humor him.

I agree with fuckup Secy of Defense Pete Hegseth who once said, "Anyone caught being reckless with sensitive info should be fired and criminally prosecuted."

What do they expect from a FOX News weekend reporter in charge of American military? Fire Hegseth and Waltz! The world is watching, and American military deserves so much better. What do you expect from the President who kept classified documents in his toilet?

The Fuck did they think was gonna happen? This disaster is why the Republicans that voted for him need to read between the lines cause he literally said what he said back in 2024. they get no sympathy from me.

Bike riders are getting themselves from here to there; bus riders want taxpayers to underwrite their ride. FACT.

Wrong. It does help a lot when people speak up. Next time, cancel all appointments when rain, storm arrives at Brownsville.

Honestly, who thinks of bus shelters on any given day?

You are right. We care about the people we identify with. How can Trump identify with the poor of the United States? He knows how to manipulate them but he doesn't view them as humans with feelings and dreams. He doesn't even care. Reminds me of Melanie's jacket.

If the Ruun-Rrun's readers do not care about the poor and downtrodden, I ask myself, are they rich or are they just callous? They also seem to be racists, but can Mexicans be racist to their own kind? We know they are not gringos writing racist comments on el Run-Rrun. Why do they hate their own so much?

You dumb Mexicans voted a white boy to be your mayor. What no Mexicans smart or good enough to be mayor. We need young smart and honest Hispanic city administrators starting with the mayor.

Bandaid effect for a filthy city.

Where is our property money going? Not on roads, drainage issues, or bus shelters. You keep talking shit about Trump and Elon Musk by you failed to mention the waste, fraud and abuse they are identifying. Please mention that democrats are the main culprits. Maybe that’s why they’re so against DOGE? Our city may be experiencing the same waste, fraud and abuse.

I missed the BS . So what did white boy have to say?

Was there a fuck up? Maybe? But it will be fixed. Bottom line the mission was a success. Which makes me stop and think did something classified really leak out or were the Houthis asleep and did not make the necessary adjustments? All targets were hit no military planes or life lost. But why are you guys so quick to voice an opinion against a possible administration error? Why didn't you comment on the numerous Biden administrations bad policies like Defund the police, LGBTQ BS, Men playing in women sports, open borders, giving money away like candy. Why didn't you say anything? These were all bad policies that we the taxpayers are still paying for. You can scream cry and throw baby tantrums. But republicans are actually doing a lot to make our country safer and more prosperous. Democrats are still missing the big picture. They lost the last election and will lose again and again. They are more concerned with stealing money and wining elections than the needs of the American people.

I am not rich but I’m not poor. I’ve always tried to help those in need. It’s the humane way. The problem with the people of our country today they have forgotten my God and have instead turned to hate and violence mostly encouraged by the lying media. I’m not a religious person but I am a GOD fearing man. At the end of the day I feel good about myself when I help someone in need.

Pendejo watch a board meeting or do some research, city is doing 30 + bus stops across town that they paid for. Once those are done the ones BCIC gave them money for is going to be used for another 35. Raza thinks it's a snap of the finger to put things up.

Texas has a 30 million surplus. That explains all this. The Republicans are saving the money instead of making Texas better. For What? To help the Republican Party win Texas.
