See what I did with the title there?  Funny, huh?  Ok, probably not.  And as much as I wanted to talk about the upcoming service changes (I’ll probably do a special edition PATransit Thursday, ohhhhhhh), I was looking over the latest Rider Report and found this gem that I felt needed to be shared:

If you are a social service agency professional and would like more information about participating in an upcoming curse, please contact ACTA at 412-809-3505.

I added the emphasis.  And yes, it’s just missing an ‘o,’ and yes, I have been guilty of the same thing time and time again (many times right here on Metblogs, I do have a tendency to hit ‘publish’ before spellcheck, I’m trying to reverse that order), but I couldn’t resist posting this before it was caught and then corrected.

And in a related note, this edition of the Rider Report (and with this article) shows a bus with a tribute sign from the funeral last month.  The back signs on the buses were flashing “Zone 5,” also in tribute.  I tried to take a picture, but my cell phone camera was not up to the task.  I’m still trying to extract it somehow that is still viewable (without a zoom, it’s really small), if I have any luck, I’ll post it here for you.

I thought the signs were very, very nice and once I made the connection with the back signs (took me a second, I was trying to figure the schedule out for the EBS), I was taken aback by how such a small gesture could really mean so much.

And this week in wild, unsubstantiated ideas about the service changes: Base price will remain at $2, but for $3, you can get a pass good for unlimited rides for up to twelve hours.  And buses that run on the hopes and dreams of the citizens of Pittsburgh.
