another one ride bus

Today, was my first to rode a bus. Come to thought of it, this is my first time to have rode public transportation. My cousin has drove me for the past weeks. I could not being abuse her for always driving. My uncle have been sleeping so I dared not to wake him up. I must being able to go around with myself only. Otherwise, it has being embarrassing. That is why I have chose to ride for a bus.

It is hell different from the Philippines jeepneys, the buses. I am mean, the buses has schedules all over the city. My uncle has teach me another thing to me to the computer. He has show me this website for the bus schedule. And not only with that. The website is shown me how to get to wherever my destination it is with the routes of the buses.

When it is time for going, I was nervous all of the sudden. I am mean, I am in a foreign country. I am very new here for now. The people is greet me good afternoon or fancy meeting you here. The folks is being friendly. They are very friendly like being in the Philippines. Except being for the cold.

When the bus has arrive, I got in. I was asked the man on the wheels "So, how would I pay you, Mr. Chauffeur?"

he is replied "Chauffeur? I'm flattered. Haha, you just have to put two dollar coins in the slot. Or any combination."

"How is about a five dollars paper?"

"Uhm... okay." he is looked back to the passengers. "Does anyone have a change for a five dollar bill?" luckily, a lady has approach me and is changed my five dollar paper. "Now you just put two dollars in the slot. There. Alrighty. Now, do you need a transfer?"

"No thank you." Then the driver is smiles.

I do not being recall two bus rides. So I am not need a bus transfer. It is makes sense for having bus transfers. That way, you will be able to ride another bus free and has not to pay all again.

When I has arrived on the superstore, it was a pleasant trip. I can not wait to rode another bus. The riding will help me to memorize this place.

However, in the end, I am found out that my uncle has been doing shopping as well to where I am in the same store. I am mean, he told me that if he had waited for another five minutes I could've rode shotgun. Anyway, it is not being a total loss.

I am asking him it was okay if I would catch the bus to my way home.
