Public Transport....

Ugh.. I get the public bus to and from school everyday..

On Friday morning I was just waiting for my bus at my bus stop..

It was about 7:45 and the bus was meant to be there.. 

7:50-- 2 out of service buses go by and then a different bus to the one I was getting..

Finally at like 5 past 8 my bus comes and me and my friend were so late for school(she gets on a couple of stops before me)...

And I remember one time it was snowing and I was getting it home and I was waiting at the bus stop for 1 HOUR and THEN the bus driver stops and tells me and says

"sorry Im only going to the next stop.." So annoying... I had to walk home the rest of the way and it took me 2 hours... > neutral 

The buses are NEVER on time ever.. I dont even bother reading the timetable I just look at it once to get a fair idea what time there coming... But its NEVER what they say on the timetable..

Its horrible when its raining because its packed full.. Sometimes the bus drives by you because its so full...  neutral

Sorry about that rant lol but discuss public transport here.. (:

Re: Public Transport....

Yeah, that sounds pretty bad. I hope you're not paying for that service.

Re: Public Transport....

I'm sorry the bus doesn't work out for you. Honestly, I'd love to live in a city where relying on public transportation were an option. We have buses here, but they only run during the regular commuting hours and not all over the city. We have taxis, but you actually have to call them with a phone to get them to come.  If your car breaks down here or something, you're sunk.

Re: Public Transport....

My bus reaches my house in the afternoon like ten minutes before its scheduled stop.
(That's good.)

GLaDOS2-I know they sound like so much fun XD
JJROCKER- Yup, 6.50 for a student for ten journeys..! 65c for one trip.. :[
scmb1- Ugh I know its so annoying... Id love it too.. Being able to know 100% what time the bus is coming would be amazing... We have taxis too but I never see them, theyre only really in the city centre and stuff and theyre really expensive ):
svinnik- Whats Occupy Boston? (:
Shadowsonics- When theyre early its just as annoying! ):<

Re: Public Transport....

Our whole school got kicked off the bus the other day after it took us the wrong way. He swore at us so we swore back and the people on the way into the town centre with no money had to walk like 3 miles :L Lucky I only had to go up 2 roads... we reported the driver. >.>
