Is waiting for a bus soul-destroying ?

Question

The uncertainty gets to me. Is it on time? Or is it 30 minutes late ?

Answer 1

It's soul destroying because it's something that you cannot control - the same when your train stops for 10 minutes 1/2 mile from the station.  Similar to car drivers - blood pressure is low if there's a flood, accident etc ahead, but it's soul destroying when the phantom holdups occur on the motorway.

Answer 2

Not really I usually find someone to talk to, but then I live in Liverpool

Answer 3

Guess it is if you have to wait a long time, there again i drive so i don't have that problem

Answer 4

Just chill out.   It's a lot better to wait for a bus than to sit in traffic on the freeway.  Take a book or ipod or something.

Answer 5

NO - if the driver is rubbish (especially on my route) then the actual journey is soul destroying.

Answer 6

Get a mode of transportation.  Waiting for someone else is never a good thing.

Answer 7

If there's more than 30 minutes between buses (even if they're different routes that still get to the same place), public transport is S****y enough to justify getting a car, IMO.

Answer 8

it depends where you are going..

Answer 9
