| Here's my cute little bus rider and myself back in October in Vegas :) |
"I walked past the bus stop about 10 minutes prior to scheduled departure time and the only bus parked said 'not in service.' So I'm wondering how much the bus is, I have exactly $2 and then a $5. So I go to Starbucks to get some $1s and order my PSL. Huge line at Starbucks so I'm anxiously awaiting my drink so I can find the bus. There are some taxis parked near the bus stop and when they see me approaching they were excited about their potential customer. I ask how much to get to the airport, they say $30. I giggled and said psssh I'll take the bus. They say No, you'll go faster with us. I say, I need to get there cheaper not faster! I see the bus! I run toward it and the smiling bus attendant says airport?! And I said yep! (Maybe the single leopard luggage bag tipped her off). She said, normally I don't let drinks on my bus, but if you're careful I'll let you have one. I took a seat, glad there was only me and one other gentleman on because I knew they could tell it was my first ride. The other rider dropped his sealed water bottle half way into the trip and it was rolling around. I yelled 'not mine!' And the driver started laughing. 15 minutes later we arrived to the airport. I tried to exit through the front door but people were already coming on. I said 'woops, I think I'm goin the wrong way.' The driver says, 'No, you're doing just fine'. I think she was trying to reassure me which I appreciated, but somehow I felt silly for feeling so out of my element... It was just a city bus ride... In my own state. Not a foreign country where my phone doesn't have GPS and people don't speak English. Lovely first bus ride experience."
