Bus Stop

 This bus stop, on Lorain Avenue, & West 140th Street, was shot up last week in the middle of the afternoon. After school target practice for Cleveland School students I suppose. Days later, the damage lingers.

RTA 3370

 Took a rather unpleasant trip on RTA 3370 on Monday morning, a constant, and loud BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP for the entire trip. I pitied the poor motorman that had to endure this aural torture. I also wondered if they ever clean the buses, dirty and smelly seems to be the RTA standard.
