Below is just a short extract: "And that reminds me of the last bus-travel story - Christian narrated it the following Monday: he had had to return the car to Ajaccio and he drove there early on Monday, so as he could catch the 7:20 bus back. The car rental agency was close to the airport, so after returning the car he needed to take a bus downtown, to the main bus station. Spotting the bus driver leaving his bus and going to the airport building, he stopped him and asked when he was going to leave. 'In one hour,' was the reply. (It was 6:45 or so.) Taking the bus schedule out of his bag, Christian pointed out that the bus was due to leave in five minutes. The driver studied the schedule carefully, shaking his head in disbelief (I'd say that explains quite a lot about local bus transport) and conceded that he might leave in 10 minutes, if this is the case. The moral is, of course, always carry a bus schedule with you..." |
