Busses

Thé 291 bus is fréquent, much more so than m'y "CVM" bus which I waited 40min for.

2 busses stopped with the 291 at the back. Several people got on, but à slight young lady at the stop proper could not see the 2nd bus. As the first bus pulled away, she stuck her hand out in thé normal way of à request. The bus driver, who had already stopped, looked at her, shrugged his shoulders, and drove on!

She was insensed! This is the stop, she told me. We discussed what had happened. She wanted a phone number and reviewed thé bus stop information for this non-existant data. Very soon she was talking animatedly to a man she appeared to know.

At last, and quite quickly, another 291 appeared. To my amusement she pitched up next to the driver and could be seen bending his ear. He smiled but also shrugged his shoulders and started off, the young lady still talking.

Just at that moment another lady ran for the bus. Wisely thé driver stopped and let her on!



Accents curtousy of this French iPhone and its insistance on correcting me.
