i ' ve ridden public transportation in portland , boston , melbourne , sydney , los angeles etc . lynx is the worst . the first driver we had acted enraged , honking , yelling and so on . everyone on the bus was shaking their heads and calling him an asshole under their breath . his treatment of a man in a wheelchair and his daughter was shocking . he had a fit trying to get the chair locked in . he was impatient and downright rude . he treated the man ' s daughter horribly , not to mention everyone else . she exited the bus calling him expletives in spanish . i really wished i ' d known spanish at that point . basically this driver was a threat to everyone on that bus and other vehicles . although not as severe , our other drives with lynx were stressful . another male driver sat on the horn for 1 / 8 of the hour drive . he would tailgate the hell out of other vehicles and slam on the horn , wondering why they would go slower and get more stressed . we had one driver that didn ' t act hopped up on speed . she drove safely . we were shocked . i don ' t think i ever want to go back to orlando .

horrible , absolutely horrible ; wish i could give zero stars . i myself don ' t have a car and no one to pick me up after i ' m finished with my classes at my college for the day so i have to take lynx to get home . i just moved to orlando so i ' ve never taken city buses before , and boy , i wish it would ' ve stayed that way . the lynx buses , for the most part , are very grungy and dirty . some are nice and spacious , but out of all the times i ' ve ever rode lynx , i ' d say only two or three buses were nice . they ' re usually very crowded and sometimes there isn ' t even a seat , you ' re forced to stand and hold onto the disgusting , germ ridden railing above you . when i mentioned that it was crowded , i meant it . there are times when the bus is completely packed but the driver still lets entire stops of people on - - wtf ? i know that they have somewhere to go , but there is literally no room on this bus for them . it becomes very uncomfortable and claustrophobic with all those people , and not to mention , a lot of the people that ride the lynx bus can be quite strange to say the least . i ' ve seen homeless people on the bus before , people with no teeth , ughh and when they sit next to you it ' s the worst because most of them usually smell very bad as well . the bus stops are also disgusting . the one at my college is nice and clean , but the one for my transfer bus is so gross it makes me want to scream . hobos , bums everywhere smoking cigarette after cigarette . there have also been times when my bus was not five , not ten , but thirty minutes late and i ended up getting home well after dark . it also is a pain in the f ! cking ass when the bus driver steps off the bus to go and take a 10 minute smoke break . dude , save it for later , your riders have somewhere to be and it ' s already late . i know i sound pretentious and rude , but ughhh ! ! this bus service is so terrible ! the drivers are rude , the buses are dirty , the riders are weird , i need to save up for a car pronto !

i spend quite a bit of time on the road . when i visit large cities i always try to use the public transit system . while in orlando for a conference at the occc i decided to buy a 7 - day pass and use the bus routes along international drive ( 8 and 42 ) . at no time was the bus on time . in fact during the day the bus was supposed to arrive every 15 minutes and i waited at one point waited 40 minute . this was even more awful when i realized i could have walked in half the time . two highlights were the friendly demeanor of the drivers and the cleanliness of the buses , however , if the buses do not show up you won ' t be able to experience this . the i - trolley seems to be a more reliable means of transportation .
the other day , my bus was insanely late coming from wdw to the central station . the driver for the next bus i needed to get on left a minute early , ignoring me as a i tried to wave him down . the next bus was in an hour because lynx doesn ' t serve commuters in realistic or reliable intervals . the kiosk lady told me he was
just following the rules
. today the same driver left the station five minutes later than the designated time . this is the worst public transit i ' ve ever ridden .
i agree that the experience of using the transport system as a commuter can be very different from my experience as a traveller looking for a connection to and from the airport , and my verdict is that i ' d take it again if only because there is no other option for affordable public transport . we were stranded in the middle of nowhere because the 11 bus we took got in a minor accident , then we realised were on the wrong bus . we waited for the same bus to the orlando airport but two buses that run every 30 minutes were a no show , and we ended up wasting more than one hour at the bus stop . luckily we were early for our flight , but otherwise would have missed our flight . when the bus finally came , it was an easy 10 - minute ride to the airport , although the driver was helpful but not friendly . again , i ' d take it again , but i think i feel the pain of regular users .
coming from a city up north with fairly solid public transportation , i had much higher expectations for one of the tourist capitals of the world . if you can avoid using their bus service , i would avoid it for a number of reasons . my biggest criticisms include : 1 . punctuality . as a system , these buses are never on time . the company needs to take a serious look at the routes and traffic patterns and make adjustments so that buses can be at the stops when they are supposed to be . and the drivers often seem to be unphased by the fact that people are late to work , have missed their transfers , etc . because of their inability to be on time . 2 . route efficiency . the routes themselves take so long to get from point a to point b . if you have to ride the bus system , plan on taking 2 hours to get to a destination that is 15 - 20 minutes away by car . there should be more express options along highly traveled routes . most of the bus routes take huge detours through neighborhoods , etc . and while servicing these areas is important and necessary , it seems to me that there should be a more efficient way to do it . 3 . sunday schedules . though i think the bus should run later every day , sundays are especially problematic . many people that ride the bus have low paying retail / food service / theme park jobs . the service industry is always open . many places today don ' t have different operating hours on sunday , and a large number of orlando residents depend on public transport to get to work . what are they supposed to do when they have to work later than the bus runs ? so there we have it . will the lynx system get you where you need to go ? probably , though you won ' t be able to get there in any sort of timely fashion .
it baffles me to believe that the transportation system in this city is this bad . you would think that in one of the tourist capitals of the world you would have a great transportation system , right ? that ' s not the case here ! let me start off by saying that if you ' re going to be using the lynx buses for trip any time during your day , you better be sure you really plan your trip and that you have nothing else planned for that day . i know because i ' ve been using the buses for years now and nothing has really improved . first , you have to understand that if you ' re going to be making a trip that normally would take you 25 - 30 minutes driving , you ' re going to be on the bus for around 2 hours . this means that 4 hours of your day will be spent on a round trip on the bus to get from point a to point b . second , the buses are rarely ever on time . so if you ' ve planned your trip , and you know you ' re counting on at least 3 transfers , know that you ' re most likely going to be late . one of the first two buses is going to be late you ' re going to then miss that last bus transfer you needed to get to where you want to be . third , the bus drivers are rude . the majority of the drivers are rude , they ' re chatting with each other , they ' re not really paying attention to the rude and it ' s ridiculous . i had to ask 3 different bus drivers which one was the correct bus i needed to take to get to my location ( you know to double check that what the site told me was correct ) and they all gave me different answers . that ' s not cool at all . fourth , just avoid the buses if and whenever you can because you ' re going to spend your whole day on them . between planning hours prior to when you need to be somewhere , waiting hours for a bus that ' s late , and dealing with rude drivers you ' re better off just calling a friend or an uber / taxi . lastly , orlando , get your s & & ^ t together and fix our broken transportation system . okay ? thanks !
if i were a resident trying to get around on a normal schedule , i would be way more critical , but if you ' re looking to avoid the mears mafia as a tourist to and from the airport and international drive , look no further . the lynx 111 picks up down on the other side and one floor below disney ' s magical express , and will deliver you to international drive without any fuss or flap , as a one - seat ride . it leaves every half hour and the bus driver i had on my trip was absolutely wonderful to chat with . another one boarded to chat with her and made additional dinner recommendations ( which were marvelous , btw ) . as someone from seattle , i ' m not impressed with frequency or the way they plan their routes , but the service was absolutely fine for this tourist on a budget . you can choose : wait up to half an hour and pay $ 2 to get to sea world / international drive , or spend your $ 20 - some - odd dollars for your mears shuttle to your hotel . the choice was easy and delightful . by sharing my knowledge of the system with my fellow teachers there for the convention , i ' m pretty sure i changed more than one set of plans for return trips to the airport .

i worked there for 2 years , i read all this complaints and it makes me sad i have been a driver 20 plus years and loved it , i enjoyed the passengers and loved staying on time . i was fired after having knee surgery and taking longer to heal then expected , i had a doctors note not to go back to driving and they fired me . its ok it worked out well for me but sadly they fire a lot of drivers in fact they look for reasons to fire them . they get a state kick back for training drivers so they have a constant training class , so to give these new drivers a job they have to move out older drivers . sadly the newer drivers don ' t know the routes and the procedures they are learning and about the time they get good at it and can run pretty close to on time their fired .
use it to connect from sun rail . big mistake . everything takes so long . and i had to sit and wait while the driver stopped to take smoke break . maybe it would b an ok option if only there were more drivers and not such long wait times . if only . . .
don ' t hire this company if you ' re in a hurry to get somewhere ( for ex - cruise ship ) . you will get the run around when you call for pickup , they ' ll even quit answering their phones ! ! other passengers had the same issue . they were there when my cruise came in and i got to the airport promptly - their rep at the cruise ship terminal told me he
makes $ 100 , 000 a year getting people on the vans
. i ' m changing careers
this bus system sucks . they ' re never on time . perfect example . i get off at work at 5pm . the 51 is suppose to be here by 5 : 25pm . never shows . the next bus is 6 : 18pm . it ' s 6 : 36 pm now and i ' m still waiting on the 5 : 25 pm bus . wtf is wrong with this system . i don ' t understand . if uber was cheaper i ' d take them all the time . they should learn a thing from uber like tracking where the bus is . the amount of time you waste waiting and riding the bus is ridiculous . i can ' t wait until i don ' t have to depend on this sorry ass system for transportation .

none i can think of . the company is on life support . there is no upside .
the ceo micro - managed the company into the ground and has no vision . he came on board in around 2008 , inheriting revenues of around $ 80m , number of staff of around 250 and 4 office locations . in 2015 revenue had dropped to around $ 15m with sub $ 5m outlook for 2016 , staff was reduced to about 50 and number of locations to 2 . key staff left out of frustration with him and customers got equally disillusioned with him . he ' s now trying to re - invent the company for the 3rd time ( dvd recorder chips to broadcast chips to ip camera chips ) , but the company has to raise funding in a tough climate with a ceo that has no credibility left and is trying to build a chip for a market it cannot compete in .
it ' s too late to turn the ship around . the only viable option is to sell off the company .
a year of changes . there was a new president and human resource manager brought in and a company acquired .
easy commute from fremont . given latitude ( time and space ) to do my work
over all , it is a good place to work , with regarding to people and technology .
you can learn a lot about video compression from algorithm team , if you are lucky enough to work with them .
company ' s directions kept changing which created all kinds of issues , especially time and money .
this will replace the current featured review for targeted profile . are you sure you want to replace it ?

singer irene ntale has fallen out with the muyenga based record label , swangz avenue ; red pepper online reports .
singer irene ntale has quit swangz avenue . the “olindaba” singer shocked her fans with a long post that announced her sudden decision .
i would like to take this opportunity to thank swangz avenue for the knowledge and experience i have gained there . i am truly grateful for
our sources have revealed that irene was not happy with the terms and conditions in the new contract that was tabled by swangz avenue bosses .
singer irene ntale has quit swangz avenue , a record label she has been signed to for many years since her breakthrough in the music industry .
for years now , irene ntale and her now previous music label , swangz avenue , had been plagued with breakup rumors , steaming from several issues .
reports from swangz avenue , a music production house based in muyenga indicate that they have finalized a deal to sign singer juliana kanyomozi into their record label .
the time i have spent with the team along with the musical and professional relationships i have built . i believe both swangz avenue and i have enjoyed a remarkable partnership
celebrated singer irene ntale , on monday evening officially announced that she had quit swangz avenue , a music label that signed her 4years ago . her departure has been in ' mute
for a while even when the music label management tried to settle all the rising disputes from early last year through her concert days . she has finally quit from swangz avenue .
sarah nampijja aka sera was signed to the muyenga based swangz avenue and was known to many through her popular blockbuster hit ' contagious ' that she did with jeff blaze ( jeff mukisa ) .
according to mr julius kyazze , young zee’s manager , also director at swangz avenue , proper management structures have been put in place to ensure that young zee comes good in all his endeavours .
sera started vomiting blood which was by now coming out through the mouth , nose and ears . this was the account of a member of swangz avenue , a label to which sera was signed .
“not that i replaced her , swangz avenue has various artistes . yes i have started singing , i’ve recorded lots of music and i can’t wait to put it out there . ” veronica said .
“my dearest fans and friends , they say time flies and today seems like those days when one takes it on stride to announce that after a lot of contemplation , i am quitting swangz avenue” ntale wrote .
yesterday singer irene ntale left her former camp and record label swangz avenue but immediately after announcing her departure , a lot of confusing media reports have been ongoing regarding the clear reason why the artiste suddenly left .
reports coming in from swangz avenue a music production house and record label based in muyenga indicates that they have officially finished the deal of signing the sweet voiced princess juliana kanyomozi and now hes part of the team .
last year , there were rumours of her intentions to exit swangz avenue . according to the claims , she was unhappy with preferential treatment given to counter part the bootylicious winnie nwagi who was rumoured to have won the hearts , bookings and thus more money than her . she however denied these rumours and swangz repaid her loyalty by organising her maiden concert which sold out .
swangz avenue unveiled their newest talent , zachary mukiza aka young zee , a 13 - year - old artiste on friday . the teenager has created a buzz over the last few months and the unveiling event was to formally introduce him to the public .
singer’s boss , julius kyazze the co - owner of swangz avenue has been on bad terms with irene ntale and their misunderstandings cropped up when julius stopped singer from staging private gigs without the management’s consent . like any other big artist’s ego , irene ntale started misbehaving !
ntale was the second artiste to be managed by swangz avenue after the death of singer sera . irene ntale enjoyed the share of cake alone not until the bootylicious winnie nwagi popped and stole the shine with her ‘musaawo’ hit this also diverted the attention of management leaving irene in grief .
benon mugumbya of swangz avenue a prominent production house in the city has finally taken a stand on the “save uganda music” campaign that has left many artistes in the entertainment industry ranting about their dissatisfaction in service delivery by uprs which was meant to be a collective management society for the artistes .
“my dearest fans and friends , they say time flies , and today seems like one of those days when one takes it in stride to announce that after a lot of contemplation , i am officially departing from swangz avenue ! i have made my intentions known to my record label and we have both come to an understanding that this is the best move forward . i would like to take this opportunity to thank swangz avenue for the knowledge and experience i have gained there . i am truly grateful for the time i have spent with the team along with the musical and professional relationships i have built . i believe both swangz avenue and i have enjoyed a remarkable partnership . as always i continue to work hard at my music , to give you my dearest’s the best i can offer and will also continue to consolidate my presence in the industry , within uganda and beyond . new great music is already on the way only for you ! moving forward my bookings can be made through this contact + 256 - 776 - 050406 name is sandra ntale byenkya” .
“i personally have been registered under uprs and several members of our camp swangz avenue but gained nothing yet the organization ( uprs ) gets over 4 billion a month and we don’t realize the use of this money as artists and therefore we are going to do something for the benefit of our fellow artists and our efforts that shall be paid off “ he stated .
“my dearest fans and friends , they say time flies , and today seems like one of those days when one takes it in stride to announce that after a lot of contemplation , i am officially departing from swangz avenue ! ” reads her post in part . “i have made my intentions known to my record label and we have both come to an understanding that this is the best move forward .
bold move and all the best with the new management . it ' s a gamble either way . some have made it , eg when rema left gagamel , but others simply faded into oblivion . . . like tom cruise after paramount and dbanj after cutting ties with son jazzy . . . . let ' s hope that after leaving swangz avenue , irene won ' t go down nanana nanana down nanana nanana . . . . # just a thought .
juliana who’s been off the the music scene for some time now has been negotiating with swangz’s management for over a year no but now but according to inside sources the two parties have come to an understanding and juliana has been signed because for so many years shes been one of the most talented and well disciplined female artists in uganda .
“he is young and still in school . we have a schedule that is strictly followed . he only comes in studio on saturday and for restricted hours . he has been under a lot of training and development for the last 12 months . team swangz is excited to fully unveil him right now . we are committed to making him an international music star , ” kyazze said .
the uganda music industry has been hit yet again with another loss of a talented singer commonly known as sera .
sera had travelled to masaka for the burial of her producer ' s father ken but while on their way back , she felt a sharp pain in the stomach . they then rushed to the nearest hospital where they got some medication . its important to note that sera had not had a meal in a long time and yet she had a history of ulcers .
sera ' s death has happened at the time when the country is alert after an outbreak of ebola however , those who were with her at the time of collapsing ruled it out saying the symptoms were different .
sera was popular for songs like ' sunrise , ' one ting man ' and her very latest was ' fire ' . just a month back , mr . x of the kaddo pharm passed on after a short illness . the uganda music industry and the entertainment fraternity at large will greatly miss you , may your soul rest in eternal peace .
young zee also released his first solo video for his song criminal swagg at the event . the video was shot in south africa , for a reported fee of more than shs75m .
in his first press conference , young zee described himself as a , “bad guy in a good way” with the talent to triumph over continental stars musically .
“i am an artiste not rapper and i want to be remembered as an international artiste , ” he noted .
music critics attribute limited continental success of ugandan artistes to lack of proper management and promotion structures for the musicians . but for a young talented lad with a credible management team , the sky is the only limit .

we haven’t featured many uganda tracks on getmziki and in the next few weeks we will start showcasing some of the music from uganda making the rounds on the radio , tv or the streets ( on a side note : i hope the “migingo island” situation can be resolved quickly before things get out of hand ) .
blu 3 is probalably one of the best girls singing group from uganda ( the uganda media refers to them as the “uganda destiny child” ) and although they have gone through a series of “changes” in thier line up , they are still giving thier fans good quality music . they were also recently named the goodwill ambassadors for the international organisation of migration ( iom ) , where they talk about and shed light on human trafficking .
on this song they enlisted the help of radio and weasel who are best known for thier smash single “zuena” for a great collabo . enjoy ! ! ! ! ! !

now this is a good song . i am not particularly big on the western r & b style i have come to know blue 3 for but i guess it seizes to matter when a good melody like this one is in play . i think the melody is what does it for me most in this track…and of course there is the magic introduced to it by radio and weasel . btw…who is who of the two ? i prefer the one who sings first in this track…very unique voice . the other one aint bad at all only that his style is sooo common you could probably not tell him apart from others who subscribe to his raggaish style just by hearing him sing .
first things first . . excellent video quality ! ! ! , , something us africans are still struggling with in this day and age of top notch technology . guilty iam for always putting the ugandans in the back burner this is some impressive music . i believe the girls are the one that won that cocacola popstars a awhile back . . if theyre still together kudos ! ! unlike sema from kenya . . wonder what happened ? im with mark whoever that guy is with the mellow voice radio or weasel is really getting it…uganda is where its at from now on . . good job get mziki !

apparently , ever since her maiden concert that was held at sheraton hotel in kampala , irene refused to sign a new contract with the record label .
furthermore , gyobera singer started bad mouthing the company amongst her friends that she thinks the label is being very restrictive and is ignoring her while favoring winnie nwagi of the ‘ katono katono ‘ fame .
in the due course , irene ntale stopped performing and boycotted some of the work . a source says , she would adamantly refuse to follow orders from the bosses and this increasingly brought conflict between the singer and company .
so after giving her what she wanted - the concert - the management tabled a tough contract with very strict terms and conditions which she claimed it was targeting her and get ‘exploited financially’ .
meanwhile , alternative sources from irene ntale’s side say , irene ntale is thinking of taking a break from singing and concentrate on her love life . apparently , she thinks for having kids this year and marriage thereafter .
previously irene has been linked with mr . jonathan kyeyo the owner of laftaz comedy lounge who social media and street people claim is the man ‘watering irene ntale’s flowers’ at night .
