I was out enjoying my morning commute the other day, when I hit some gridlock on the main road. As I waited patiently for the traffic to clear, I listened to NPR and caught up on the current events. In local news, the public transportation workers had ended their strike. Apparently, the mechanics union had come to an agreement and the MTA busses would be back on the streets soon. “Good news,” I thought to myself as I stared at the brake lights ahead of me. After all, that meant fewer cars on the road. And less traffic. Fifteen minutes later, I discovered the cause of all the delays: A stalled MTA bus blocking the right lane, its rear hood open, exposing its useless engine. Hey, good to have you back, guys! I don’t know what we did without ya!
