Synopsis
Leaving his house in the morning, Squidward is not looking forward to another day at work. He becomes more miserable when SpongeBob joins him and spends the entire walk talking nonstop. Early the next morning, Squidward decides to ride his recumbent bicycle, but SpongeBob catches up to him on his unicycle. SpongeBob points out a bus stop, which excites him. When Squidward asks why he doesn't just ride the bus to work instead, SpongeBob says he would love to, but there is no bus stop near his house.
Squidward goes to the city council to get a new bus stop installed at Conch Street. When he starts playing his clarinet to begin his proposal, it is so terrible that they immediately approve his request to get him to stop. The next morning, SpongeBob is ecstatic when he sees a bus stop outside his house. Businessmen line up, and he questions why they are not having fun like him. They say they are tired and hungry, so SpongeBob makes them kelpitos, and then music to throw a party.
Mr. Krabs arrives, asking why SpongeBob and Squidward are not at work. The fish at the bus stop tell him SpongeBob's kelpitos are so good they would be willing to pay for them, so Mr. Krabs moves the Krusty Krab to the bus stop, and the customers line up. SpongeBob exclaims that they will not have to commute to work anymore because the Krusty Krab has been moved. Squidward starts playing his clarinet again, making the council agree to remove the new bus stop.
