Today I went into town, so walked up to the bus stop. The weather was nice and I didn’t have to wait to long. Yet when the bus pulled up I got on and asked for my ticket. I was £1.30, so I handed over my money, a £10 note.
‘Oh sorry’ said the driver, ‘but I don’t have any change.’ My response was something along the lines of well what do you want me to do; this is the only money I have. The bus driver then became rude, telling me how this happens a lot in the morning and what he will do is take my money and then hope enough people get on and give him change before we get to my stop.
So I sit down, a few people get on. Too be honest I was feeling a bit worried that this man had just taken a tenner of me. So we get to my stop, I ring the bell and then walk to the driver. He then huffs and puffs and counts out my change. I mean change, I had £8.70 in a mixture of coins. The biggest coin I had was a 20p. I seriously couldn’t fit all the money into my purse. Overall not the best experience of public transport.
