Another bus ride entry

The whole "bus leaving a town" scenario for me is quite familiar now.  Waiting for it to fill before it leaves, people staying on who are not planning on going, children saving seats is all normal.  However, what I will never understand are the few people who choose not to walk another 200m to the bus station to get a seat; but wait down the road for a bus to pass hoping that there is an empty seat still onboard.  There never is! 

 

Despite previous entries, having now driven 3 of the college cars, I fully admire some of the drivers.  Although all of the buses are old, some are very much in their "classic model" stage.  And like UK cars, old is not necessarily a sign of being unreliable.  For my Easter journey, the bus did not even have a radio.  Colleagues had not been keen for me to travel on such a bus, but as we overtook newer broken down buses and reached Mekelle quicker than normal we felt reprieved for our decision.
