Route_31_Driver Old Horse seats are a theory Join date: Oct 2012 Location: Talas, Old City - Alatau Heights line Posts: 645	05-10-2012, 00:14 #1 I drive the 31. Old City to Alatau Heights and back, eleven times a day. Ask me anything. Rules of the 31: 1. Pass the money forward. 2. Change comes back eventually. 3. The front seat is for aksakals and the driver's nephew. 4. There is always room for one more. There is not. There is. Pass the money forward.

Think about who rides it. Contractors. Returnees. And who sits one metre away listening to them talk? THE DRIVER. Route_31, who do you report to? WAKE UP IRAD WAKE UP IRAD.

UncleTemir_Chicago Aksakal Alatau Heights 1997 - Chicago 2007 Join date: Aug 2011 Location: Chicago, IL Posts: 1,388	08-10-2012, 06:05 #7 When I lived in Alatau Heights the 31 was a white Ford van (the contractors just called it "the Ford") and the driver played the same tüntolk cassette for two years. Route_31, is it still a Ford? In Chicago I take the bus on Devon Avenue. Nobody passes money forward. Nobody talks. I miss the cucumber economy. Iradi American Association picnic every August. Bring kazy.

Multiply by every worker in Talas. The city says "fuel". Fuel comes from NURGAZ. You see the circle?? WAKE UP IRAD WAKE UP IRAD.

I get what is left. You can follow that circle too. Pass the money forward.

(was that you??) the 31 goes both ways

Ruslan_not_that_one Aksakal No, not THAT Ruslan Join date: Sep 2014 Location: Nurzhan Posts: 1,123	11-07-2015, 21:30 #17 Nurzhan has trams. A tram cannot overtake you on the right. Talas is a wild country. Neftchi Nurzhan till I die
liberty_lad_88 Rider Taxation is theft Join date: Feb 2016 Location: Talas Posts: 215	04-03-2016, 10:12 #18 This is exactly why the city should deregulate the routes. Let ten drivers compete on the 31 and the fare would be 30 tyiyn in a year. Free markets, free people. Don't tread on my sheep.

She calls the stops by their Soviet names. Nobody corrects her. She is the regulator. Refinery No. 1, shift B. Opinions are my own, the smell is the refinery's.

The Gazelle started on the third try. If your marshrutka came today, thank the driver. If it didn't, he is still underneath it. Pass the money forward.
