WTF Winnipeg Transit?

I blog to you mildly outraged at the service of Winnipeg's bus rapid transit. I know, join the club. But hear me out.

I take a 65 at 8:05 to school which usually stops at the doors of Red River College; today the bus stopped two blocks before the school where I was informed that it was the last stop. I wouldn't usually complain about walking the two extra blocks to school, except I have a broken ankle and am on crutches, which makes it extremely difficult to get around anywhere.

As I waited for my walk sign, the bus took off with it's Not In Service sign on. I witnessed the bus roll in front of the school and stop for a red light. The bus stopped right in front of the stop that I would normally get off at which bothered me because I asked the bus driver if he would drive by the school.

When I finally arrived at the school I was a baffled, exhausted, sweaty mess as I talked to Steve Vogelsang who suggested that I blog about this incident and write a letter to the Winnipeg Free Press which I will do.
I will keep you posted.

What crossed my mind as I got off the bus and hobbled to school:

1) Really? That just happened?
2) Is it because I am not pretty enough that he didn't give me a ride the extra two blocks?
3) Is this policy?
4) He definitely didn't give me a ride because I was a hot mess.
5) What will I do next Friday when I take that same bus and he tells me to get off?
6) I wish Emily, John, or Mike were here to fill up my water bottle for me.
