i've rode the tulsa transit many times in the last couple years, and the experiences i've had are varied, sometimes so within the same day. yesterday was such an example.
to start the occasion, after looking at google maps on the phone to find the bus to the library i was going, the bus was not there at the time listed, which happens occasionally due to delays or buses come early. and although i'm not sure if the first 150 bus i'd tried to get a ride yesterday came earlier than scheduled, i was a little perturbed that the bus driver did not wait when i'd tried to wave while walking to the stop from the distance of about a block, though that has not worked in any similar experience i've had with tulsa transit. nonetheless, the bus-stop where i'd waited was a covered stop, which was a welcome feature yesterday, when the weather was warmer and sunnier than i've noticed yet during the year. moderately soon, the bus came again in about 30 minutes, and the driver was kind.
i'd only need one connecting route to get where i was going yesterday, and while the intermediate stop was not covered, the wait was rather short, just a few minutes. the driver of the second bus, bus 201, demonstrated skill at handling the bus and interacting with guests, including me. thus, i got to the destination with good experiences on each bus on the route, with minimal exposure to the warming weather outdoors. read more
