Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

For this week’s #TransitThursday we expressed our love for transit through poetry; haikus specifically (5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables). Here are a few of the awesome haikus we shared:

  • @mamakoid: Headed to airport? SPRINTER hybrid bus takes you. Be green ride transit! #TransitThursday #Haiku #Charlotte #CLT #SPRINTER Sprinter enhanced bus service
