Friendly Manitoba



Today on the good and faithful Winnipeg Transit, it was packed and everyone was freezing because the bus was 23 hours and 50 minutes early (or 10 minutes late). Either way, it was like minus a million and I was almost late for school.

Sounds pretty grim eh? It seems like there was nothing the bus driver could do to make this better...

Until we were passing the MTS Centre, he jumps on the intercom and says, "Hockey players here don't use gel, they use MOOSE."

Pure redemption. He is part of the reason I miss our "Friendly Manitoba" slogan.

They can change the slogan, but they can never change the slogan.

Be friendly. Be Manitoban.

Really?

  1. Love those bus stories Jon! Yesterday one of my students saw a seeing eye dog throw up all over the front of Winnipeg transit. I'm guessing that doesn't happen very often!
