I am a bus...he is at the stop. I stopped at his bus stop...but I am the wrong bus. He needs to wait for the next bus and see if he should ride. There have been times when I have stopped at a bus stop because I wanted a passenger...but the passenger waved me on.
Well today, a passenger really wants to ride on my bus, but I just cannot let him. I am the wrong bus. It's not that I can't take him where he wants to go...I just don't WANT to. He's not the one I want to take my roadtrip with. I am going to have to hurt his feelings today. Oh well...he'll be aight.
So...not every person is a bus. There are some who are buses, that offer their passengers long rides. Then there are some who aren't...like a Jitney. My Love? or former love..his new name is Jitney. He shall now be called Jitney. Why? I still love him...but he's not a bus driver and I need a bus driver. I am a bus...and he is a Jitney. He might pick you up and take you a few stops down...before he drops you off and picks up another passenger, takes them a few blocks down...then repeats. So you may hop on his Jitney several times in a day, week, year...but it will never be for a long ride before you have to get off and wait for it to come around again. It's possible Jitney might not even be picking up another passenger...but he will still make you get off a few stops later so he can...I don't know...get a donut? work another job? wash the Jitney? Whatever the reason...his passenger will only be on for a few stops at a time.
That's not to say a Jitney driver could never be a bus driver... or a bus driver become a Jitney driver. It just all depends on how long you want your ride to be with the driver/passenger.
I'm thinking about becoming a Jitney...it costs too much to keep riding this bus.... :/
