Mats J Larsson: The kärleksröda the bus flirts constantly with me

Can a SL-bus to flirt? I ask myself the question since the kärleksröda bus 405 appeared in my life.

Flörtandet began in January, when I to my great amazement, realized that the new bus route, which begins and ends at ”my” bus stop Ektorps centrum in Nacka, go straight to the Västerbroplan next to the DN.

and Västerbroplan stops the not once – not even in the least messy construction site of the bridge.

I and the neighbor, who has his workplace in the vicinity of the mine, sat and thought in the bus on the way home on a cold January day in when the illuminated city Hall flickering past along Söder Mälarstrand.

– Are there any SL-questionnaire I filled in at some point? I tried. Or has any officer of the SL read one of my columns? Perhaps, artificial intelligence?

– the Bus is made for me, found the neighbor with satisfaction.

to the job and also tend to ride a bike. But now we have the flörtande bus without saying it straight out calls:

– Buy a monthly pass!

I, who had no fixed connection with the SL since I emigrated from the county of Västerbotten in 1988, may struggle to resist. The bus is warm and comfortable. There is always a seat and I don't have two substitutions as I had to do to get collectively to work.

rush hour traffic beats in addition, 405:an my personal racerrekord on the 13 kilometers: just over 27 minutes.

I forced to convince myself that I actually need vintercyklingen at least two days a week to be able to go in the DN:s of the teams in Stafettvasan on 1 march.

the Neighbor has bought tremånaderskort that soon runs out.

" Then I'll start cycling, she promises.

The new 405's timetable is, however, on all weekdays for the rest of the year. It was then that a constantly flörtande!
