Subject: Re: Graffiti critique of Cap Metro on bus stop post

I hope this photo-illustrated message (below) that I wrote and sent today to the Austin, Texas-based Cap Metro mass-transit service Board of Directors will prove to helpful.
Upon further review of the two cited photos I took this afternoon at a Cap Metro bus stop in north Austin, I need to offer a clarification:
I erred when I reported earlier today that I was providing you with the "exact verbatim text" of the allegedly-law-breaking graffiti author's handwritten critical message that I had discovered today on a bus stop sign post.
The anonymous graffiti author at that bus stop had apparently misspelled the word "waits" as "wiats" and had apparently misspelled the word "infinite" as "inifit".
The "exact verbatim text" of that graffiti message on a Cap Metro display sign was: "Cant eliminate wiats inifit".
Best Wishes,
current year-round Cap Metro bus passenger John Kevin McMillan of northeast Austin.

Both photos taken by me about 4:30 p.m. today--Monday, July 12. 
Exact verbatim text of the featured illegal felt-tip-marker-generated anonymous graffiti "critique" of Cap Metro bus service here in Austin, Texas, and apparently referring specifically to  bus service at this particular  bus stop:
"Cant (sic) eliminate waits 
"Infinite".
Location: Stop ID 3125, along the southern side of  Ohlen road a few blocks east of Research Blvd. in north Austin.
Bus stop is located a matter of yards from a Target chain department store.
Best Wishes, 
Cap Metro passenger John Kevin McMillan.
8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.
