It was a very busy week for commenting here at the good ol’ DCist – and with a metric ton or two of insightful and witty words to get to, there’s just no time to waste with any sort of introduction. So, off we go!

This week’s Comment of the Week goes to lp2k, who probably isn’t too far off regarding the District’s planning process for a potential city-wide bus terminal near L’Enfant Plaza in Southwest:

DC Bureaucrat 1: I’ve noticed that private companies have been successful at providing cheap, relatively convenient travel to and from major population centers on the east coast, isn’t there something we could do about that?

DC Bureaucrat 2: Yes! Let’s require a special permit and charge for it.

DC Bureaucrat 1: Good idea! That will probably increase the price a bit, but what about the convenience?

DC Bureaucrat 2: Well, you know how the different companies pick up in different locations so the consumer can choose the location closest to them or that’s easiest to get to?

DC Bureaucrat 1: Yeah…

DC Bureaucrat 2: What if we made all the buses leave from the same spot?

DC Bureaucrat 1: Brilliant!

DC Bureaucrat 2: Well, its noon – time to call it day.

After the jump, there’s more bus terminal reactions (not as cynically funny, but still), and of course, it’s “intern season” in the District.
