Public Transport

I got to the end of the line just as another bus arrived at the terminal. It parked behind the first two buses and opened its doors straight away so quite a few people got on. When there were only 25 seats left the bus driver closed the doors to leave. The other two buses pulled away at the same time and we saw there were still a lot of people lining up.

As we were driving away we noticed one of the other buses had pulled up beside us. It was packed and the driver started having an argument with our driver about leaving before he had a full load. Our driver started cursing at the other driver saying that he still had other stops before getting to the city and what if other people wanted to get on the bus then. He exclaims he usually picks up 20 people on the way (hmm that still means there would have been seats free...)

We continued on to the city without picking up a single other person. I think our driver got into trouble...
