Scene From A Bus Stop

“Excuse me, young man, do you know if bus 22 has already come by?”

Oh, I’m sorry, Auntie.  You missed it by five minutes.  Next one doesn’t come for a other half hour.

“That’s okay, I can take the express bus to get to Other Town and transfer there.”

Hmmm, the express bus doesn’t go through that area.  Can I ask where you are going?

“To Beach Town, so I have to go to the Other Town.”

You know, you could save a lot of hassle if you take the express, get off early and take the 41 into Beach Town.

“Oh no, I always take the 22 to the transfer point.”

But…here look, let me get out my phone.  You see here?  This is the bus website and it shows you can save ten minutes by taking the Express bus to the 41.

“That won’t work, and I should know because I’ve been taking the 22 to get home for decades.”

You’re part of the OSR, aren’t you?

“What?”

Oh look, here’s the Express bus just in time.

And…scene.
