Saga on the Kingston Transit System in one scene

[hananna]

SCENE: I am at the Kingston Centre, attempting to figure out which of two #4 buses I should take to get to Sydenham and Princess. It is raining profusely. It has been raining all day and will not stop until some time never.

Me: [Approaches the first #4 bus]
Driver: [Opens doors]
Me: Do you go to Sydenham and Princess?
Driver: No. You want the other #4, over there [Points "over there"]
Me: Okay. Thanks. [Walks to second #4 bus]
Driver: [Opens door]
Me: Hi. Do you go to Sydenham and Princess?
Driver: Yep.
Me: [Gets on bus]

[Bus drives for five or so minutes, when I realize the street numbers on Princess are decreasing instead of increasing.]

Me: [Thinks to self] Shouldn't the street numbers be increasing?
Me: [To driver] Excuse me, are you driving towards the water?
Driver #2: Yes.
Me: Then I'm on the wrong bus. I need to go to Sydenham and Princess.
Driver #2: Well do you need to go to Sydenham Street or Sydenham Road? Because those are different, you know.
Me: And they both intersect with Princess?
Driver #2: Yes.
Me: [Sighs] Well I need to go to Sydenham Road, so you better let me off.

[Gets off bus, runs across street to wait for another bus back to the Kingston Centre.]

This town is ridiculous.
