(click photo to enlarge)
-
Ryan Salo, checks the RTA schedule on his smart phone, as we get coffee at Blackbird Bakery.
-
Ryan runs for the bus bringing back bad thoughts.
-
The driver waited until we figure everything out.
-
WOW! Big and clean.
-
I didn't realize they had theater seating.
-
-
Ryan relaxes as we take off.
-
-
-
The seats are branded CSU but not embrodiered.
-
Ryan looks back to the last view of Lakewood before going downtown.
-
Eric Pate, regular rider and great guy. Works for Souper Market, a place Ryan and I both love, and boy is he a good ambassador for them.
-
And a ton of fun. Eric, pretending he was a bum sleeping on the bus. He said it was "very uncomfortable."
-
The Stephanie Tubs Jones Bus Station.
-
-
After putting the bus in park, and keeping her foot on the brake, the bus driver allows us a selfie. She was a great RTA representative.
-
However the STJ Bus Station was empty.
-
Ryan approcahed on ofe the RTA Transit Police.
-
-
-
Again, a perfect employee. I couldn't rattle him at all. Polite, informative, helpful.
-
-
A little street art at the station.
-
-
Then we walked down to Playhouse Square.
-
-
-
-
-
Then downtown.
-
Interesting, you can park for $1 more than a round trip on the bus.
-
Doors still locked all over downtown.
-
-
We got to the Old Arcade and saw this art.
-
I have always loved this place. So I paused and created...
-
-
-
-
Moving on, we see Barrio is opening a place Downtown. Good PR for Lakewood.
-
Ryan took me into the casino for the first time.
-
The place was empty!
-
-
-
Then we headed down to Lakeside. It was just like the airport, while waiting for a bus, we could see buses like the one we would ride go by.
-
Still clean.
-
Back home. A great ride, on a nice line. If RTA gets rid of the signs, we may come to use this fabulous service.
