Bus driver hierarchy

As I waited for my bus at Millgate the other day, I started to wonder if there's a hierarchy of bus drivers.  In my world, here's how it works:

The best bus drivers get to drive the LRT (how cool would that be???!!!) - this is reserved for those extra-special people - or maybe a birthday treat.

Or maybe the best ones get to drive the hybrid bus on loan from BC.

The second step down gets to drive the bendy-busses like the #9.  Just because they get to be extra-awesome around corners.

Then comes the regular busses - not for over- or under-achievers - just achievers.

If you show up late for work, you have to drive one of the old-school busses - not as much fun, but still OK.

If you have a pretty bad record at the bus garage, then you're demoted to the little busses - not really a bus, but not really a van.  These are the second class citizens in the bus world.

And finally - School Special.  Yeah, 'nuff said.

remember those old trolley busses - those were for the losers because they always broke down.

Plus, since you guys left, I've been eating tons of chocolate and playing online Settlers. It's like you are still here - without the talking.
