Old Bus Sign


This is another picture you will see on the buses here in Newcastle. The series of posters are titled "Safe Travel for Seniors," as you can see. This one is my favourite because of the first tip: "ask the driver to wait until you are off the bus." What else is the driver is gonna to do? And, what do they want the drivers to wait for? These are my questions. I have spent much time on public transit pondering this. I hope to find an answer soon. Posted by Picasa

You Too Can Help


This is what is posted on the buses now, amongst the ads above the windows. I had to have a chuckle over it, even though it's sad to think that your neighbours would report you to the "authorities" for working in the garage at 3am, fixing your car or making that spice rack your partner has been bugging you for. They even have these signs at the bus stops, replacing the movie posters. I couldn't imagine Canada posting things like this, but then I haven't been there in a while, so things may have changed. Posted by Picasa
