[BlindTlk] Have a laugh!

Sat Sep 12 04:03:17 UTC 2020

I was learning how to ride the bus from point a to point B and I fell asleep and completely missed my stop. The driver was nice and let me ride with him to the end of the line and then he took me back around and let me get off or I was supposed to get off. Needless to say I never fell asleep again on a city bus.

The trip only required me to take one bus, but I got a transfer and thought I would use it to come back to campus with.  And worst of all, it was the same bus driver who had given me the transfer in the first place.  He was nice and let me have a free ride, but I was embarassed.
