Public Service Heroes

My personal heroes of the public service are the bus drivers of Zürich*. They are an outstanding example of how to apply stoic calmness while being surrounded by maniacs on wheels. Nevertheless, they mysteriously master to stick to the time table.



*) The ones of VBZ, which run the town services. I particularly exclude the drivers of the VBG (northern suburban areas) from any hero status. Most of these drivers are licensed killers in disguise.

pah, timetables! You have obviously never used line 31! Line 33 (from your picture) is not much better and both run by my place.

I admit that my data sample might be flawed. The post came to me while riding a 62 and reading a book called Re-Imagine!
