Car vs Bus.

Car loses.

I’m glad no one on the bus had injuries. I suspect the car and driver were fleeing, stoned, or drunk. In that case, I don’t care.

During an extended stay years ago I heard MARTA was an acronym for Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta...

In the 1980’s, Fairfield, CA had a private commuter service that carried people to San Francisco. It was called the FART Bus (Fairfield Area Rapid Transit). Slogan was “Gas Pains? FART to San Francisco.”

In NYC it’s common for the bus to fill up after the accident so they can sue and ride the legal lottery.
