You suspect your bus driver is NEW when.....

1. She's reading printed out directions from mapquest while driving.
2. She asks the passenger sitting closest to her "Do I turn here?"
3. She forgets to yield to a trailer truck carrying about 10 cars on the highway.
4. Her turns are so wide they take up 3 lanes.
5. She drives about 10mph.
6. It takes us 15 min. longer than normal to reach our stop.
7. She won't take her foot off the brake but only for a minute on the highway.
8. The bus that's supposed to run later than you passes you on the highway.
9. You've never been so glad to see the bus station in your life!
10. A passenger asks "Does this bus go to the medical center?" and her reply is "I think so"!

This really happened to me on Monday! I was really glad I made it home!

Life in the "big city". We have only 6 mini buses in all of Hobbs and yet they get lost too I hear. I really enjoy reading your observations.

Pretty funny. Out here in Lake Olympia you don't have to worry about bus drivers. :)
