I just wrote about the 31 bus flashing “EMERGENCY” last night. It is unexpected that the same thing happens to the 14 bus which I am ridding.

For attempting another kind of experience, I take the 14 bus home today. It goes along the Mission St from the beginning to the end. When it arrives the bus stop at Mission St & 25th St. Here come up a bunch of hippies boys, wearing some kind of collapse crotch pants, white and black T-shirts, jackets. Although they talk loudly, I can not understand totally with the unfamiliar tone and content. I am sure they are not speaking English, may be Spanish. As they have dusky skin and wavy black hair, they seem like Mexican.

Since they get on, the bus just goes one stop, and stops for a while. Two police come up. Maybe the bus is flashing “EMERGENCY” outside, I think.

It is strange that the two police are wear helmets, which are not the battle helmets but the bicycle helmets. They go straight to the end of the bus where that guys standing. They say something to one person, who shows some certificates to the police. They look at the certificates and keep speaking, meanwhile, the bus starts to go. The other people of the guys look nervous obviously, and get off the bus hastily when the bus stops at the next stop, leaving the person whom is interrogated by the police.

When the bus goes through a few stops, the police take the person get off the bus. I just understand what the police wear bicycle helmets until they go to front of the bus to pick up bicycles.

This is the first time I see police on the bicycle in the United States.
