My town's bus connections are notorious. I've heard many a negative story from acquitances but I've nevet quite thought it's as bad as they make it sound. Now I have to take it back. The following happened:
I got my very first bus card last Friday. Today I was waiting for the number 1 bus alongside with many others on the same bus stop. There were two of us there going with One as I learned when the bus arrived. The bus stopped in front of the other who was standing quite far from me. I see the bus stopping there, far from me, and start walking towards it while visibly holding the card on my hand. The other enters the bus, I walk forward... and about a metre from the door, the driver closes the door and drives past me. I was very visibly entering the fucking bus as everyone else on the stop noticed, and he drives past me! You can guess exactly how many course words in several languages -including klingon- went through my head during the following three seconds (but there were kids present so I kept my mouth shut). An old woman looked at me and said that if I'm on my way to P (as I was) number 3 in ten minutes goes that way.
The bus company is so getting a complaint tomorrow... The drivers are impolite, irritant and -as is very clearly- in a wrong bloody profession! They're getting paid for doing their job and I'm one who pays them. Or is it the same thing as with the church: my money is good enough but not me?

That's when you kick the bus as hard as you can and sue the company. >:)
