(Mori)Bus Philosophorum: Admittedly Selfish Shuttle Etiquette Tips

Have you taken advantage of the great CDTA Shuttle that runs between Crossgates, Central Ave and 20 Mall via Washington Ave Ext and Route 155?  It’s an on-demand service where you request upon boarding to be delivered anywhere from Point A to Point Z.  But please observe good rider etiquette:
Take a look at the sign on the front of the bus, which tells you its destination. So if you’re waiting at Wal-Mart to go to Crossgates and a shuttle pulls up that says, “20 Mall,” chances are that it is not for you.  Don’t stand with one foot on board (after you’ve spent ten excruciating minutes gathering your bags) and ask, “Are you going to Crossgates?”
The shuttle is a great way to get errands done, like paying your Time Warner Cable bill. The bus goes to TW, but it requires a time-consuming backtrack that regulars dread.  This is fine during the mid-afternoon hours, but realize that if you want to go at 8 a.m., there are going to be a lot of professional folks (recognizable by their badges and pained expressions) trying to get to work who will make it their life’s mission to kill you with mind daggers.  For real.  Don’t fuck up my commute.  I’m already late enough as it is.
Be nice, Jerks! This goes without saying, but the shuttle is catering to you and sometimes going out of its way to pick you up and drop you off.  Be where you say you’re going to be and don’t dawdle.  If you wind up getting a ride from a friend call back the CDTA operator and cancel your pickup.  Say please and thank you.
If you see a girl with a green canvas bag who looks like she’d really love to hear the story of the boil you just had lanced or how none of your kids call anymore, she wouldn’t. Trust me.
