Our city just widened 11 sidewalks and removed 40 parking spots. Ridership on the 4 bus is up 22% in three weeks.
Full breakdown of before/after counts, plus what the merchants association said at the June 9 meeting (they were wrong about the doom, receipts inside). Data from the transit authority's June ridership PDF, cross-checked against my own dashboard counts.

What was the strangest thing a passenger ever said to you at that hour? Not looking for anything dramatic, just curious about the mundane weirdness of 2:40am.

A guy asked me to hold the bus for two minutes so he could finish a phone call to his mom in Manila. I did. Nobody complained, everyone just looked out the window.

That's the whole job right there, honestly.

You held it for me once too, going the other way. Thank you for that, seriously.

Did the route ever get rerouted for a game night or a parade and completely wreck your schedule?

Twice a year for the fireworks, and once for a marathon I forgot was happening. That one I still hear about from dispatch.
