You went for the ride, lol. Did you ever have any hang ups to where you were a hairsbreadth away from being stranded?
Case in point: on my day off I parked my car at Wayne Depot and rode into the city on the 192. Wanted to try out the 119 with the New Flyer Xcelsiors. From Bayonne I got the 10 and rode to JSQ where I got the Path to Newark. From there I wanted to get the 11 to Willowbrook to the 198 and get off at the depot entrance. Well I got on the wrong side of Penn Station and miss the 11.
Ok no problem,
I’ll take the 28 up to Willowbrook (unsure if even went that far at that point of the evening). Well 28 only went to MSU.
Ok no problem.
I’ll get the MOBO at nearby Montclair Heights and ride to Route 23 Transit Center. Get to MSU, and I’m waiting longer than I’m supposed to. Then I get word due to a fire in Glen Ridge, the MOBO was 50 minutes late while one of the trains from New York was cancelled.
Ok no problem
The last 28 to Newark is leaving MSU. I’ll use that to the 72 to Paterson and catch a deadhead (161 or 190) back to the depot. I specifically told b/o I want to catch the 72. She puts me off a full mile where I actually want to go. Cue a nice 45 minute adventure on foot down Bloomfield Av (with a few brisk sprints mixed in and a shortcut down Belleville Ave) and I was able to catch that last 72 to Paterson with 4 minutes to spare. Caught a 190 dh back to Wayne depot to end one of the more chaotic trips ever 🤦♂️
