THEY ARE NOT ALLOWING ANY MORE PEOPLE IN LINE AT MAC TO RECEIVE JOURNEY PASSES. Tell your people so they don’t waste time and money trying to get there. This was entirely avoidable. We knew people were going to come out like crazy for these passes. Free bus access is life changing. #bagthefarebox

The 18 is not a bad route. What sucks is having to plan my connection and leave a little early to make sure I don’t miss it with these awful headways. A major (tourist!) city needs 10 minute headways from downtown to the airport.
