The Bus Ride Into Cambridge

A few of us delayed the departure of the bus by about twenty minutes. This was so because as we were standing in line to purchase our tickets we were told that we could and should just pay the bus driver instead. The thing is, the bus driver didn't have change so he told us to go back to the ticket office. Of course, we first had to convince him to not leave without us, which wasn't so hard since he had already loaded on our luggage. At the ticket office, as we were approaching to the head of the line, two of the three cashiers decided to either go on break or call it a day. Then they hasseled us to get our tickets quickly so that the bus can finally depart. As if that wasn't enough it took close to four hours to make the 60 mile trip from the station to Cambridge and that was with the bus driver missing a stop, which elicited many "bloody hells" directed towards the bus driver.
