And I’m not that happy about HUR either.

I can add Hovedstadens Udviklingsråd to my shitlist, too–or at least the driver of bus 179 towards Lyngby station on August 1, 2006, departing from Adolphsvej in Gentofte at 23.24.

I finished day 2 at the most beautiful carehome I have ever seen–Salem, a Diakonissestiftelse care-home in Gentofte. It’s amazing. Totally new, with a courtyard covered by a glass roof and a view to the lake. Loft-lifts and everything. Also totally one of the most “heavy” places I’ve been. Exhausting.

But on Tuesday I ran out, literally, to catch the bus, because the previous day I’d had to walk 20 minutes up to Kildegårdsplads to catch 150S. Not so charming. Tuesday I did my homework and found out that 176 would take me from almost right outside the care-home up to Brogårdsvej where I could catch 150S. The bus arrives on time, I hop on, and sit there attentively trying to figure out where I’m supposed to get off. But I can’t see Brogårdsvej anywhere. Finally I go up to the driver and thus ensues the following conversation.

Me: When are we coming to Brogårdsvej?

Driver (looking at me like I’m an idiot): We’re not. This bus is going to Lyngby station. This is 179. You should have gotten on 176.

Me (looks down at bus route folder in hand, sees that 179 stops at Kildegårdsplads): Oh. Right. Have we already gone past Kildegårdsplads?

Driver: Yeah, we’re almost to Lyngby station.

Me: But where *are* we right now?

Driver: On the way to Lyngby station!

Me: Yeah, okay. But where are we actually *located*?

Driver (like he can’t believe how stupid I am): In a bus on the way to Lyngby station.

Me: Fine, I’ll just take the S-train then.

Asshole. Then there is a merry tour home involving creepy S-train stations at midnight, in which I took the A-train from Lyngby to Nordhavn. There was a real dilemma involved in whether I should get off in Hellerup and switch to F+ to Bispebjerg (but didn’t because I didn’t feel I could rely on the S-trains given the current situation), or Svanemøllen and take a taxi (but I decided I’ve maxed out my taxibudget lately), Nordhavn and take 18, or Nørreport and take what there is. 18 won. It actually went okay, but way to take a non-shortcut.

And who is the brain-dead retard at HUR that runs a 179 and a 176 bus through Gentofte in the middle of the night and has them both stop at the same stop at 23.24???
