Late Bus Stories

[GommeInc]

My bus was late once... I got a lift into college by either my mum or dad. Late buses do not phase me, and by the second year of college they were a thing of the past when I passed my driving test and drove in everyday

Your bus stop was out of order? :S @Mathew

[Mathew]

Yeah, there are roadworks opposite so they've put covers over the bus stop! @GommeInc;

Have loads of these stories considering I got the bus to school and college for like six years straight and the bus service here is the worst in the world. It would be faster to list the amount of time the bus has been early or on time than it has been late. Latest it has been is like an hour and a half behind schedule, most buses coming at once has been three. Then the bus drivers are frickin' ***** as well. Got on the bus once and asked for a single. I give the driver my money, he gives me the ticket. I go and sit down. He calls me back up to the front, says I don't have enough for a return. I said I asked for a single. He said I asked for a return. I said I asked for a single. He said I asked for a return. Whatever happened to the customer is always right, you grumpy ****. I keep going on; I asked for a single. He says I don't have enough money for a single. I had the exact amount of money for a single, I double checked, and that's what I bloody asked for. Somehow I am magically 10p short. He gives me my money back. I just say forget it, give him supreme evils and walk off. ******* ******* ruined my day. Cut to a couple of years later. Going to college, I get on the bus, all is well. Ten minutes into the journey. Bus breaks down. Well, that's what we all assume. Because the bus just waits at the stop for twenty minutes, the bus driver doesn't inform us of what's going on, he doesn't say a single word. Unlike everyone else on the bus, who are complete idiots who appear to have just gotten the bus for no reason at all, I actually have to be somewhere, so I get up and ask what the hell is going on. The driver says there's a fault with the bus and that we can all get on the next one that comes. Why would I do that? I'm late because of you now, I might as well walk. The whole point in me getting the bus is so I can get to college on time. I ask for a refund. He says he isn't authorised to give me one. I ask why he isn't authorised. He says he isn't authorised to give me a refund. Yeah, well done, you already told me that. I ask him again, and again he says he isn't authorised to give me a refund. I say forget it, give him a look of death, turn around and walk out. I wish I could punch these people sometimes. I have loads more stories like this, but I won't go on. As you can probably tell, talking about the bus makes me angry, because I hate the bus. I really do. I've had nothing but bad experiences, and thus eventually I boycotted the service here, and haven't gotten on one of the buses in over two years and counting. Go me. The end. Death to the bus.

Once I was home sick from school and my mum's friend asked me if I could pick her kids up from school. So I went to the bus stop 5 minutes early so I wouldn't miss it, and then when it came it drove right past my stop didn't even slow down. So I had to walk down the road to a different bus stop which was a little late so by the time I was at the train station my second bus I had to get had already gone ages ago so I had to call the school tell them I was going to be late picking up the kids and then had to walk for 20 minutes, and by the time I was at the school I was dying because it was a really hot day and I was sick.

But besides that day usually the buses have been on time or only running a little late, and they've never made me late for anything.

was hoping this thread was about getting the bus late at night

some proper creepy people at that time

[Empired]

Not had late bus problems since France in 2010.. Yeah but then it was literally two and a half hours late 'cause the bus driver stopped to have his lunch while we all waited in the pouring rain and howling wind for him............................................... ............ :rolleyes:

My luck with busses is not too bad, no more than like 5 mins late usually!
