Ah, I'm 5'6 so my backpack slides off my lap in the sideways ones.

The plastic seats are way less scary, but all new busses means the classic voice will be gone. I like it way more than the tts the new busses have, but willing to say goodbye to it to remove fear of bedbugs and fluid-absorbing.

Great when you don't have a backpack. It's a lot easier to carry them in your lap when the bag can lean on a wall of back of another seat. Single seats are always great though, if they weren't sideways they'd be the greatest thing ever.

I'm assuming that was also the cause of the worshipped sinkholes?

Yeah, when I was little. We'd all climb up onto the wall in the back and hold on as it moved... what, a yard? It was one of the most exciting things to do as a kid (and yes, I was well aware I took moving trains all the time on septa), and little me was devastated when they stopped doing it.

I heard it at around seven.
Then proceeded to have a person either try to kidnap me or escape from someone else ten minutes later on the way to the bus stop.

I was so obsessed with them when I was younger, if only I still tuned into them. Kid-me would be so hyped by the news of this.

Reply to Trolley Question by MedicCrow
The trolleys have their number on them on the front, back, and side. If it says something other than "Welcome to route 34. Service to 61st and Baltimore", it's not the westbound 34. If it doesn't say anything, the front seat has an old school red-dot-lights-on-black screen that will say the same thing in written words.

I wish I could do that, but I'm also a kid. It was definitely the latter though; they got off at the same stop as me and the boy told me he didn't want to talk about it when I asked if he was okay.

Reply to comment by jea25 in Mad about book bans in school libraries? Philadelphia has a solution - no libraries at all! Only 7/217 schools have libraries for their kids. by youngbuck215
My school technically has a library. It's just out of use and is only used for events and backup offices. We don't have a librarian or any book check-out system, we just have a bunch of shelves with random books people left there.
