STEINBACH, MB
The long wait is over as the City of Steinbach has finally unveiled a new ten year plan to improve the growing community’s public transportation infrastructure. The plan includes the licensing of guys with pickup trucks to drive passengers in the back, “so long as they stick to gravel roads and wash the cow shit out once a week.”
“We’ve had great enthusiasm for the new initiative,” said city councilor Timmy Unrau. “19, 20-year old guys are signing up like crazy. I think they believe they’ll be taking payment in roll kuchen and bags of zoat.”
The town is requiring all the new drivers to learn at least a few words of English and be able to identify all the gravel roads between Steinbach and Blumenort.
“They’ve also gotta have nice straw bales back there for the passengers to lean on…and, oba, it would be really nice if they’d provide bungee cords to strap them in with yet,” said Unrau.
It is hoped that the pickup trucks will relieve congestion on the highways coming in and out of town. Payment for a ride to Chicken Chef will be $7 or two sticks of roll kuchen. A trip to Walmart will cost $10 or a pair of new suspenders.
