Note: I had a bad time with the buses here today (they all seemed to be out of service at the same time and I almost missed a teaching contract). So, this is the result.

Here is a link to the prompt, in case you want to jump into the pool: Wish you could be here it is really an amazing place to finally let your mind go blank and not worry about all the problems of the world when you realize that there's nothing you can do anyway and why don't more people do this you'd think that they would just go for it and we would have to fight all the crowds and they just have all this place ready for the bodies and the screaming and the garbage and why don't people just stay away from this place and leave it alone and I love it here and don't want to go go go go go...

Short and sweet. Sorry for your bad experience though and I hope your day wasn't entirely ruined.
Sorry about the struggles. Hassled & harried is never fun.
The problem is I wasn't driving!
I hear you loud and clear - timetables and routes designed and maintained by people who never use public transport!
So glad you didn't miss the contract. Public transportation cannot be relied on at time!
Ahhh ... the trials and tribulations of public transportation. Funny Haiku! I glad you made it in time!
