(December 16, 2005) — After a three-hour session of study hall at the Glendale Central Library, freshman Deborah Park waits beside a pole with a placard marked with the number five. It’s 7:30 p.m. and the next 30-minute interval before the Glendale Beeline arrives on the intersection of Central Ave. and Colorado Blvd. As the sight of the Beeline appears in a distance, Park inches near the pavement with a quarter in hand. However, just when she expects the bus to stop to take her home, it zooms past her without giving a thought about stopping. To add to the problem, the Beeline ends at 6:30 p.m. Alone and without a phone to call her parents, Park was stranded. “It was late and I was mad. The bus didn’t seem to have even seen me,” said Park. For Park this was not the first time the Beeline missed her. In fact, it was the third time. “Thankfully, I was able to walk back to the library and get a ride from a friend,” Park said. Senior Tae Lim Lee said he also was abandoned by the Beeline. “I was waiting by the number two stop in front of the froggies at the Marketplace and the bus just ignored me,” Lee said. He too was waiting by the bus stop before the last round of buses would pass by, as usual. “The Beeline should train their drivers and give them new pairs of glasses,” Lee said. The Glendale Beeline is a public transportation system with a cheap price of only one quarter and equipped with a speedy pair of wings. It even has a witty motto: “Going where you want to bee.” However, it seems to have forgotten that in order to take passengers where they “want to bee,” you must first pick them up.
