		The bus has never once adhered to the schedule (if the roads are clear and there's no traffic, it's still no where to be found), the drivers are usually the meanest of the mean, and most of them drive well under the posted speed limit of 35MPH (close to 15MPH).
		I forgot to mention the MTA should also get bike racks for buses which only cost a couple hundred dollars per bus, but have benefits which would be far greater.
