20 minutes ago I passed an access-a-ride mini bus (Run by the public transit agency) parked in the curb bike lane with it's blinkers on in front of an apartment building. A building with over 40 units, an open air parking lot, and a lavish back driveway with full entry on the opposite side of the block. It would have been far more convenient for the bus driver, the person being picked up, and every endangered passing cyclist and driver for them to pick up their passenger in the designated passenger pickup area but no, there is a bike lane that isn't yet being blocked and so that is where the bus must be.

I wanted to cut the bus driver some slack and complain that municipalities don't do enough to provide loading / unloading curb cuts but I can't even do that when there's a huge-ass driveway taking up a third of the property already and they're not even using it.
