Can you get me to...South Bloomington Transit Center??

So every day, I stop at this stop in Bloomington that is called the "South Bloomington Transit Center." In fact I stop there during the course of a day like FOUR times. After a while a guy gets tired of calling out this long name and at one time a passenger got on and sang to me (to the theme of Sesame Street) "Can you tell me how to get, how to get to the.....South Bloomington Transit Center."

That was it. It stuck.

So I started using it every time. Now, I have a special group of riders that I take out of Minneapolis to South Bloomington, we laugh and talk and make fun of each other. These types of customers help make the time go by faster and it relaxes me as I am driving a SIXTY FOOT BUS in RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC in DOWN TOWN MINNEAPOLIS. Anyway, I have started announcing the SBTC as "Sesame Street" and saying with it, "This ride is brought to you by the letter (insert letter) and the number (insert number) and then put them into a sentence wishing the riders to have a good day and what not.

Fast forward to this week. It has been a terrible week. Drs visits, problems at work, problems with graphics etc. Too much drama for here.

YESTERDAY, one of my riders gets on the bus....wearing a green Sesame Street t-shirt. She said she thought of me when she picked it out. Brightened my entire day....brightened my entire week!

I thought to myself, one good turn deserves another. I made the work below for her and them and hopefully it will brighten their day like that one simple choice of apparell did for me.

This post is brought to you by the letter "A" which can be found in...I have AWESOME customers.
