1/9     What kind of gas mileage does a bus get?  The kind that AC Transit and
        SF MUNI use.
        \_ a 72 seat International school bus gets 8 miles to the gallon.
           buying s a school bus is a bad idea.
           - former school bus owner.
           \_ is 8 freeway or street?
                \_ Guessing street since many/most school buses never see a
                   freeway.  YMMV (hah! a joke! get it? ha!)
                   \_ so we'd get better than 8mpg if we drove it on the
                      freeway?
                      \_ look.  owning a bus is a *huge* potential pain
                         in the ass.  don't get yhourself into that
                         unless you *really* know awhat you're doing.
                         if asking about gas mileage on the motd is
                         your idea of figuring out what you are doing,
                         prepare for misery as you try to unlead the
                         prepare for misery as you try to unload the
                         fucking thing.  guess wahat: no one wants to
                         buy your stupid bus after yhou go broke and need
                         to get rid of it to buy food.  save youreself now!
                         don't buy a bus!!!  unless you have lots and lots
                         basiacally my experiaence with bus ownership is
                         along thge lines of Bitter Divorc3ed Guy's
                         experience with marriage.
                         of capital and free time to fuck with it.
                         basically my experience with bus ownership is
                         along thge lines of Bitter Divorced Guy's
                         experience with marriage. bus bad.

1/10    $100M to add 266 freeway on-ramp metering lights.  That's $376k per

12/2    Freeway of the future, a 1958 Disney-ish film. "Speed, safety, and

7/20    Do people not know that the only place where there is no speed
        limit is on a freeway onramp?  Which means that it is the entrant
        driver's job to speed up and get in past the existing traffic?
        \_ The ones who can't accelerate are in SUVs
           \_ True.  My 2nd-gen Prius (not the 2010) accelerates on the
              on-ramps fine.  -- !OP
