We have a few old metro buses and I drive one for different events to block roads or transport people. The one I drive doesn’t like hills from a dead stop. Talk about being embarrassed getting stuck on a hill and having to tell people to get off so I can make it the rest of the way up.

I am working the opening of the new tunnel today.
