It is a well known fact in Wellington that there is little point looking at the bus timetables. Its better just to sit back, relax and wait for it to come. The times are rough generalizations and merely give you how often they come and go, as opposed to when they will actually come and go (unlike the system in Europe when it will arrive on the dot, and leave not a second too soon, nor too late!) I’ve found it will arrive when it arrives anyway. If it is late, there was and is nothing you can or could do about it.
I’ve been catching the bus into and out of town the past week, since it is a bit cheaper. There have been a few mishaps like ending up in Moera instead of at home… but we all learn from mistakes!
I guess its one of those things I’ve noticed in that people busy themselves and get flustered when the bus is inevitably late. I have done so myself.
But is there anything you can do about it? No.
All you can do is board when it arrives.
Like everyone else.
And mutter under your breath how late it is…
‘Till next time…
