Bus Timetable

Usually before I catch the bus, I look up the bus route online and check what time it will arrive at my local bus stop.

I recently noticed the Internet search engine I use is no longer showing the live timetables for the buses. I wondered why.  I could call the bus company and ask them.

I checked the travel app I normally use, but the times they were giving were approximate times. I decided to leave a few minutes earlier than the time stated on the travel app.

When my bus arrived, I found an empty seat. The last passenger who got on told the driver there was smoke coming out of the back of the bus. After the driver checked, he moved the bus down a bit, parked it and asked everyone to get off. He said if he drove any further the bus might catch fire.

While the driver was inspecting where the smoke was coming from, I asked him why their company had stopped showing live timetables. He asked me what app I was using and I told him I was using a search engine. He stopped what he was doing, looked up the app store on his phone and recommended an app for me to download that will show all the times. I then thanked him and wished him "good luck" with the smoking bus issue. He chuckled and said he was going to need it.

I should have known there was an equivalent bus app. There is an app for everything these days. 😊

Our next bus soon arrived and we were on our way.

Thank you, God, for answering my question and keeping all of us safe. ❤️
