Who Rides the Night Owl?
Night Owl late night, all night, bus service will be cut on 4 lines starting September 2009. For many people who work at night, this is their only source of transportation. Losing this way to work may make them try to find another job they can get to using the resources they have. To many people, these workers are invisible - they work at night, at jobs most people never think of, and we never see them.
What do they do at night? Take care of patients in hospitals and other health care facilities. Wash our tablecloths and uniforms. Perform maintenance and housekeeping. Stock store shelves. They keep much of our world looking very nice. And we hardly ever see them or think about them.
Where can't you get to work now, well after the rest of us have gone to bed?
Some of the places you won't get to are:
- St. Jude Hospital in Fullerton [Route 43 - La Habra to Costa Mesa]
- Anaheim Resort [Route 43 - La Habra to Costa Mesa, Route 50 Long Beach to Orange]
- Anaheim Convention Center [Route 43 - La Habra to Costa Mesa, Route 50 Long Beach to Orange]
- Disneyland [Route 43 - La Habra to Costa Mesa, Route 50 Long Beach to Orange]
- Hotel Row in Garden Grove [Route 43 - La Habra to Costa Mesa]
- Honda Center [Route 50 Long Beach to Orange]
- Angel Stadium [Route 50 Long Beach to Orange, Route 57 Brea to Newport Beach]
- VA Hospital in Long Beach [Route 50 Long Beach to Orange, Route 60 Long Beach to Tustin]
- Cal State Long Beach [Route 50 Long Beach to Orange, Route 60 Long Beach to Tustin]
- Cal State Fullerton [Route 57 Brea to Newport Beach]
- UCI Medical Center [Route 57 Brea to Newport Beach]
- Coastal Communities Hospital [Route 57 Brea to Newport Beach]
Next time you're out late with your friends, take a look at all of the people still working - waiters, housekeeper, valets, bartenders and think about how did they get to work?
