My First EVER Bus Experience !

I went on a bus for the first time EVER ! I am 19 by the way so it's not like any other 10 year old being introduced to buses for the first time I am a 19 year old bus virgin well technically, not any more ...

First off I went to the nearest bus stop up the road to my house and checked the time thingy and it flashed "Town      5 mins" I was very happy as I didn't have to wait too long and I sat down with the £5.00 my Dad gave me for the bus, the other shoulder holding my backpack with all my gym equipment inside of it. Once the bus arrived, I let a man go before me so I could here what I supposed to say alas it couldn't hear above a mumble. So I did what I heard ... I mumbled ... I am so embarrassing. So after mumbling the bus man said "one adult ticket yeah?" and I said "yeah?" - he probably thought I was being cocky however I was genuinely asking him if that was what I was supposed to say to him.

After boarding the bus I soon jumped to the overall idea the bus was actually is very, very cool and an enjoyable experience? Although I was disappointed that their are no seat numbers issued to any of the passengers - this still upsets me heavily, buses need some sort of seat allocation; well at least I think they do.

When the next stop happened all of a sudden a huge crowd entered, meh still okay the bus trip wasn't completely damped by this. However I quickly changed my mind when their was a turn, to be honest I am very familiar with the route as my Dad drove this way and I saw the turn but bloody hell I wasn't expecting to hold on to the seat or fall flat on my face. The non-smoothness of the road was started to annoy me too so this also contributed to my lack in faith with buses. Lastly there where too many stops I kept getting up thinking "oh that was quick my sto... my stop isn't here maybe the next one might be" and awkwardly sat down again.

So overall, I learnt that buses have these points to consider as you might will experience these:

  1. Too crowded (occasionally)
  2. Too many stops and bumpy
  3. Turns are deathly!
  4. You could enjoy it?
