as soon as i hopped on the 140 this afternoon i should have known. i recognized the driver but couldn’t quite place why. i haven’t ridden on the really early 140 in a bit, but know as i sit here getting thrown fore and aft with every stop that has a person standing at it and at every traffic light, i remember now; it’s mr. whiplash.
mr. whiplash loves the break. dearly. he loves it so much that he must stomp on it at least three or four times prior to completely stopping the bus. and there is no smooth breaking either for mr. whiplash, when i say stomp i mean it.
i don’t know if he is the regular driver on this run now, but if he is i feel for all of these people that ride this one every day. there are lots of chiropractor appointments and neck adjustments in their futures.
and that’s mr. whiplash, just another fun character on your marta.
