Hi dear! Once we were going to Vaisno Devi for pilgrimage and my mother-in-law and sister in law was also to accompany us. On that day there was a huge traffic jam. We somehow managed to reach the station just 15 minutes before the departure of the train, which was leave Delhi railway station for Jammu. However, when the train started, we were surprised to see that my mother in law and sister in law failed to arrive at the station, though we had the information that they were on their way to railway station. They apparently missed the train due to traffic jam. They did not lose their courage and boarded another train for Jammu and to our astonishment reached Jammu early in the morning, before out train could reach (they had boarded a super fast train, though they could not get berth, someone they manage to travel). I had to get the their tickets cancelled at Jammu station and I was later refunded less than half the amount.

Yes, I do. I missed buses many times.The bus in our city is irregular. Just on this Monday, I missed a bus, while the distance between us less than 2 meters. I missed it and waiting the next one. Unfortunately, it took me about one hour to get the next one. And I also missed train one time. As trains are always running as the schedule, it was my fault. I didn't track the time. But luckly, my ticket was for non-seated. But as I missed it, I had to board on other one - which is for long-distance, usually this kind of trains always keep some carriage empty before certain stops. As my ticket was not for that shift, that means my ticket was not for certain carriage or certain seat. I could enter in the empty carriage, and took a seat. In another word, if I caught the original train, I had to stand all the time, as I must in the certain carriage as the ticket.

i missed a train from taiyuan to shanghai last before last year?that's a snowing day and spring festival was coming ,and bullion of people wanted to get a ticket to go home at the station,this was very disaster for those people who wanted to be home before the holiday? i thought that i had enough time to get the train ,and i was late by the weather and a little traffic jam,so i had to buy an air ticket for my mistake?anyway i arrived shanghai eventually?

Yes, it was a day i missed a bus and was late for school. It was around 5.45 AM. the bus arrives ate 6 AM but i went there at 6.02 AM. The hasty bus driver did not want to stop although he saw me running wildly for the bus at the bus stop.

I was returning home from Detroit Michigan, after having spent the weekend in Toledo Ohio. My friend in Ohio drove me to Detroit, but we missed the bus, so she ended up driving me ALL THE WAY HOME to my house in Canada! :) I thought that was a really nice thing for her to do. :)

I hate missing bus or a train. Its just terrible. When I missed the bus, I called the travel agency to get me the next one as fast as possible. When they said I couldnt, I yelled at them. I think missing buses and trains is our fault because we need to follow time.

I missed the bus to school a few times. My parents get really mad when that happens, because they have to drive home while they were on their way to work and send me to school. My parents are typically never home in the morning, so I have to make breakfast and everything. But this has taught be a lot of responsibility, because I won't get used to depending on them for things, we I am better prepared for the real world.

This reminds me of one of the funniest bus rides that we've ever had! Just last April, we went to Cebu to file for the Nursing Licensure Exam. We were supposed to stay there only for 1 day, but we stayed up to 3 days due to the gruesome and botched up process of filing. We decided to ride the 3:00pm trip back to our hometown, and went to the terminal around 2:30pm. To our surprise, the bus had been full since 1pm, and only the standing room was left. And to think the trip took 8 hours because we had to ride the barge! So we had to wait for the next bus, which went out around 8pm. And got into a fight with a woman who got outraged why we had reserved seats. As my classmate said, "I'm sorry ma'am but we have been here since 2:30PM and got left by the 3PM bus. Any more violent reactions?" hahahha

Missing bus or train is a common situation in my country. I remember that my first year in college, when the spring festival was coming, most people chose this period time to go back home to get together with their family. Just as they did, I would go home too. But for my carelessness, I missed the train, then, I had to board the next train, which was so crowded and had no seats left. So, I had to stand in the train for more than 10 hours. Although it was so tired, I was still happy because I could get together with my family.

Yea, loads of times, theres nothing you can do except get the next one!

When I was younger, we had no car, so the bus was our primary means of transportation. I remember one time when I was in 3rd grade, we had missed the bus to go home. It was the last bus of the day and we were half way across town. Our only option was to walk all the way Home. It wasn't so bad, as we were used to walking a lot, but it was obviously not something we wanted to do. lol

Hello Buchi While in service i have served in several colleges in different places, if it is say 60 kms from my home, i used to travel daily by train or bus, if train is too late, i have to rush to the bus stand, many times i miss the bus, go back to railway station, to my bad luck the train is gone too, i had to take leave.. Thanks for sharing your trip from Sirdi to Kashi. Professor. . Cheers

I have missed the bus before when I was in school. I had to call a family member so they could come and get me and take me to school so I would not miss a day of it. I did not live close enough to walk.

I actually missed a flight, a connecting one from Paris to Madrid. I blame this person I was traveling with. She acted like she knew everything about schedules and took her time freshening up while we waited for her. We ended up missing our flight and just had to wait for the next one (3 hrs I think). Good thing we weren't charged for that.

I have missed a few buses during the times I had to take a bus. I would just stay at the busstop and wait for the next bus that would take me where I want to be.

I also tried several times missed the bus,there is no other way but to wait,then I called to colleagues maybe lated for job time,only a few times,they will forgive me.

Yes some two years back I have missed a train from Chennai to Coimbatore. It was booked to travel along with my friends. The train is about to start at 2:30 noon and I started from my home an hour earlier, hardly it will take some 20 minutes to reach the railway junction. But that day it was very bad, I was waiting for the metro train in my area for more than half-an-hour then it arrived and I reached in the railway junction exactly by 2:30 and I was just pushing myself fast towards the platform, when I reach the platform, train is moving slowly form other end of the platform. I was just frightened and standing alone in the platform. Then took a seat and thinking for a while, what to do next. Next train towards Coimbatore was at 4 evening. I planed, bought the ticket and gone to that platform as early as possible and placed myself at the top luggage carrier and slept all the way till I reach Coimbatore. Time had worked well that day... Simply one of the most remembered day of my life.... Great thanks for you "Buchi_bulla" I enjoyed all the way typing this discussion...

My answer is yes! It was so bad to see the worker close the door before you for your miss the train for a little minutes.But I was fortunater than you as there are still seats. Miss a train is so bad,I just changed a new ticket and went back for a sleep waiting the train tomorrow.
