Bus Tales
March 28th, 2006 at 21:24
Arriva buses have had posters up recently asking members of the public for their “bus tales”- essentially funny stories that have something to do with Arriva buses, that will be published in September.
Obviously, I’ve done the most grown-up and mature thing possible, and sent them a sarcastic contribution.
I’d just finished a hard day at University, and I was waiting at the bus stop with my fellow commuters. We didn’t speak to each other, of course… or at least until something unusual happend. It was 17:53 and a large object appeared on the horizon, moving at quite a speed towards us. As the object drew closer to us we took a step back further into the pavement, and when we saw what it was, some people literally rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
It was the bus… and it was on time! Slightly taken aback by this, we slowly stepped on to the bus- holding on the hand rail, just to prove to ourselves that the bus was actually here, and we wern’t simply hovering over an empty road.
When the bus driver finally grunted at me for my money, I was returned to reality. I stood uncomfortably due to lack of seating and completed my journey in silence, only speaking to thank the bus driver at the end.
And no, I don’t think anyone will have done this before me, either!
