It is about a 40 minute walk to the school from my casa…. All down hill. So I am planning on walking.
Today I needed to be there early, since I was going to the tv station for an interview ( which didn’t happen).
So I took the bus.
Wow.
There are no bus stops, you just flag the driver down. He stops long enough for you to get your feet on the bottom step, and then he is off. The ride down the hill ( think Hamilton mountain) is full of stops and starts, twists and turns. You have to grab on to the hand rails.
The inside of the bus is not tall enough for me to stand up straight…and I don’t have a great sense of balance.  I can deal with this in off hours, when the bus isn’t full, but during rush hour when the bus is packed it is a different story. I am sure I stepped on many toes this morning as I was lurching about.
During this ride, there is a guy moving through the bus collecting the fare ($0.25). I don’t know how he found the space.  When it is time to get off, you move towards the door and try and get the drivers attention. He stops long enough to get a foot on the ground, and then he is off again…. Lurching along billowing black smoke as he takes off.
