Bring change for the bus.... and some big band-aids.



When you come to Vegas part of the fun is some of the thrill rides.


A roller coaster through the New York skyline!






The Stratosphere offers heart attack inducing rides 

Including a leap of faith.

Stratosphere SkyJump
Weeeeeeeeeee......
Reality is if the equipment malfunctions you are dead.

But that is not where the danger hides.. its these scary little places all through the city called Bus Stops.
The Green Line’s 23 open-air stations will each feature double-helix-shaped, steel shade canopies above metal seats plus ticket and vending machines. The platform is elevated so that passengers will be able to enter and exit the buses without navigating a gap.
Will they survive the wait?
No, it's not because some punks come and steal your money and stuff.. That happens mostly in movies and video games... 


   

It's because we recently have now coined the phrase 'Bus stop safety'

Imagine, finally a cool early morning.. waiting to for your bus. 
A shitty way to commute, but hey, you are working. 
When out of no where a air born  
shitbox of a car hits you and your fellow riders.
The driver went to the hospital and then directly to jail.

Not the first bus stop to be demolished by an ass driving impaired.


 4 dead and dismembered.  8 injured.
The worst of a series of bus stop vs moving vehicle. That was Thursday morning.

Sept 6th...

That is just some... year after year... 

So if you come to Vegas and decide to take the bus.. bring your personal pedestrian airbags.

Don't mind us, we are just going to work...
