The other day I was standing at Murray Central (5200 South. Please hold your child's hand when boarding and exiting the train) and the Red Line showed up. A woman got off the train and started running all the way down the platform.
Toward what, I'm not sure. Usually when people run at TRAX stations, it's to catch a bus that's about to leave. But she was running away from the only bus that sat idling at the station. And the FrontRunner station isn't open yet, so she couldn't have been running for that.
In any case, she ran all the way down the platform. Maybe she was running for the hospital. In which case I sure hope it wasn't serious.
WHAT WE SO BLITHELY CALL "THE BUS" IS, IN FACT, ITS OWN LITTLE MICROCOSM WITHIN OUR LARGER SOCIETY. IT HAS ITS OWN RULES, ITS OWN JOYS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS, ITS OWN INSIDE JOKES, AND ITS OWN RABID FANS. THERE ARE NICE PEOPLE, MEAN PEOPLE, WEIRD PEOPLE, CLUELESS PEOPLE, AND ONE DEVASTATINGLY ATTRACTIVE BUSNINJA. AND IT IS NEVER, EVER BORING. IF YOU DON'T THINK UTAH HAS A THRIVING BUS CULTURE, YOU'RE MISSING OUT . . .
