Last week, a bus arrived at Sacramento State with No. 88 on the side and the route summary for the No. 88 on the front. Two co-eds with backpacks asked the driver if the bus was going to the Amtrak station. I was about to tell them they wanted the No. 30 bus when I heard the driver tell them he was going to the station. The two co-eds boarded the bus.
I walked over to the bus, and the driver explained that this was the No. 30 bus. I pointed out that both the front and side signs said this was the No. 88.
"Computer will do that," he explained.
I had been waiting for the No. 30 bus and if the two young women looking for the Amtrak station had not tipped me off, I would have missed the bus.
This all comes to mind because I was researching getting to American River Drive when the infoweb.sacrt.com coughed up this helpful suggestion:
Computers will do that, I thought.

Gotta love that attitude among drivers, that kind of "oh well". I get tired of it and have had to complain to RT (CAD@sacrt.com) multiple times because of driver's attitudes.
In defense of the driver (playing devil's advocate), the driver was working on "fixing" the computer problem. By the time I got off the bus it had the correct route info.
