New Orleans vacation (4 of 7): Even more informality.

On New Years Eve when me and my friend were waiting for the bus to go downtown to the French Quarter - we had been biking, but didn't want to risk the drunks - we were out by the bus bench near her house waiting for it to come, and it came a few minutes late, then pulled over in front of a Circle K halfway up the block, and the driver got out.

Like 5-10 minutes later, he got back on, and then he pulled up.

He waited till we paid, even though that forced him to miss the light.

He just wasn't in a hurry, though that was probably the biggest public transportation night of the year...  The bus ran just once an hour, and by the end of the route it was packed to the gills.
