Bus cancellations and what not do when they happen
I have been using buses to go to and from work for the past 5 weeks. In my city, you can text a number with your stop number and they give you an expected arrival time for the bus to stop by. This system is usually pretty good, and I only had problems with it once until today. I have 2 routes I can take to get home. Route 1 drops me off 10 minutes away from my house on foot. Route 2 does the same thing, but I have to catch a second bus to do so. Route 1’s bus did not arrive, despite the text acting like it would/did. I wait 10 more minutes and route 2 bus comes up. I decide to take that bus and stop at the correct stop to get picked up by the next bus. It is a 15 minute wait for it, but the bus also never shows up. With my phone (where my tickets are stored) dying and no charge on my portable charger, I decide the only thing I can do it walk home for 2 hours.
I do wish they notified me about the cancellations, but I learned my lesson. Next time route 1 is late, I will wait for the next route 1 bus 😄
