"I decided to take the bus"

Yep, there's nothing wrong with my car, but I thought it was ages since I've been on one of those bus things, so off I went.

It was horrible. To start with it was 30 minutes late. At least now I know that if I get a sudden urge to be surrounded by townies and old people on a cramped fridge on wheels all I have to do is go to the end of my road and pay £4.

I shall drive from now on.

I despise the bus.
I won't go near them anymore.

Last November, I was running late for school,i needed to get the train at 8:40 or I'd be really late, usually I'd get the train 15 minutes earlier, but I'd well missed it, and ou only jsut get in on time with that train (for registration).
I left the house at about half past.
No wya I'm making the station in ten minutes (i could have actually, but I wasn't risking it)

I wait at the bottom of the street for a bus..
None come, I wait till about quarter to 9. Nothing.
I start walking, I need to get the train at 5 to 9 now, or else wait until 25 past 9.
I get down to the station just as the train is leaving.

3 buses pass me.

Buses suck.
Trains suck even more.
They closed the doors on mem, just as I was about to step in.
Half an hour I had to wait for the next one.

That's the price we pay for not being on the main road to uni; because the other bus companies don't stop at our route, we have to use Stagecoach, who use their monoply as a sign of cost cutting.

I did run to uni today, damn I'm not as unfit as I thought. I'm so proud

Really here its normally 4 buses from two different routes at the same time.

I was going to bring my bicycle to uni, but having seen the crazy drivers I'd doubt I'll feel safe in a car, let alone on a bike.

Worst thing about buses is them being late. Every 7 minutes they say. But it's more like 20, as they mmiss out some as well.

And the old saying of 2 buses coming along at once is very true.

Where i am you can get a daily bus ticket for £3. Or alternatively you can buy a weekly one for £8.50 Or a monthly one for £34.00

One of the many reasons why I am learning to drive.

Buses suck.

With a car you can just jump in and go, maybe listen to the radio on the way.

And keep warm at the same time

I am sure it is. Abuse of power more like!

That's what I thought. It's ages since I had to pay to ride it. My warrant card gets me free bus travel.

Before anyone says that's taking liberties. It's an agreement between the council and police force.

£4 That's a bit steep isn't it?
