VTA Line 22, a bus route that goes between Menlo Park and eastern San Jose (more specifically, Eastridge Mall) along El Camino Real, The Alameda, Santa Clara Street, Alum Rock Avenue, King Road, and Tully Road. It is one of the longest and most well-known bus routes in the South Bay region of the San Francisco Bay.

The 22 runs more frequently than any other bus route--buses show up every 10-15 minutes during the day, and the route operates 24/7. Additionally, it is the only bus route that uses bendy buses.

Unfortunately, because of the 24/7 schedule, bums and smells reminiscent of shit are pretty common, especially at night. As a result, the 22 has come to be known as "Hotel Deuce Deuce," "the Felon Express," among others.

A pet whose owner claims is a service animal (ie. required because of the owner's disability and trained to perform accessibility functions), when in fact the owner is not disabled and is exploiting the leniency of local accessibility laws* to get their pet into no-pet spaces.

Usually owned by irresponsible Karens, Service Animals™️ are the bane of retail workers, other customers, and the disabled community, especially owners of actual service animals. More persistent and manipulative Karens will threaten to sue for discrimination if they are called out for the Service Animal™️'s damages, in a gambit to absolve themselves of any responsibilty for their crimes.

* As an example of this: In California, retail workers are not allowed to ask for evidence (such as legal documents) that the animal accompanying the customer is indeed a service animal; this is considered discrimination. The most that workers are allowed to do is ask the following two questions: "Is the animal required because of a disability?" and "Whatt function has the animal been trained to perform?"
