Buses on my line won't sell weekly tickets. at all.
"Why?" you innocently ask, because then they'd have to take a $50 note and they can't give change for that.
But I only need $8 change, and they'll take a $10 note for a $2 fare you protest.
Shut Up! They protest.
You say well then I need a two hour zone 1 ticket.
Then they put through a daily ticket for zones 1 & 2.
$14 for a two hour zone 1 you ask
NO! a Daily zone 1 & 2 they yell.
But I asked for a two hour zone 1 you protest.
Well That's Not What I Keyed In they yell.
But that's what I asked for you say.
Now I have to delete it, you're wasting my time! We'll be late!
But I don't want to pay for a ticket I won't use you say.
They glare.
You look placid.
They run through the two hour ticket.
You pay.
You ride the bus. You press the button for your stop. You stand up.
They brake suddenly as you stand, you grab a pole to avoid falling, they start moving again.
They over-shoot your stop and you have to walk through traffic to get to the curb.
You get on the train and thank whatever god/goddess you beleive in that you don't have to take a bus ALL the way to work.
