At least they're not attached to electric wires overhead like SF's Muni. Those things are constantly jumping the wires.

These monstrous bitches can't turn without asking cars to back up from left turn lanes or going over part of the sidewalk. I've seen this happen on several different occasions. Who actually PLANS this stuff? Is the MTA run by complete idiots or just people with lots of stock in bus companies?

How long have you had your windshield wiper blades for? Usually those things last 5-7 years depending on your usage schedule.
