Deja vu of old times:)

And i kind of shared it with other people too, precisely teenagers I had to go to the city centre and was just returning by tram and of course, the bus stop was near. It was past 4p.m. and i knew that is the time when bus will probably drive off. Well, when i get off the tram, i saw it was stil there. I started running, he was slowly driving off, i even waved, nothing. Since the next one would have come in 10 minutes, i said okay, let it go but, not the nicest feeling driver ignoring you and being barely 50 metres from you, waiting for a green street light. Ah. What I wasn't expecting, some 4-5 teenagers behind me and a female leader of group saying something like, "we should try to get closer to the bus, the driver will see us and open it for sure". I joined them but no opening, guys and i saw girl pretty waving her arms, she really gave her all. This same thing happened to me when i was a teenager, 16 of age. I will never forget it. It was a small city, still is and there were, to this day, no trams so i walked from bus station to school; 4km in both directions and i remember i ran so hard with one female friend, more colleague and no, the driver didn't open the door even though i knocked and waved. I was both embarassed and pissed a bit cause the next bus was in 30-40 minutes. Not sure which season it was. I think it was winter or autumn. In summer, i rarely ran this hard Unlike yesterday's event when i knew bus will be there in 10 minutes, i couldn't smile back then. But i smiled hearing male teenagers getting frustrated and i wondered what for. By simply waiting 10additional minutes. Okay, it was cold but they got their jackets on and another bus came really quickly. Ah, same age, 2 different cities. True deja vu P.s. An online photo.

I've rarely had to catch buses for transport. We can catch them now but they're very regular. It's a good service.

The last time I tried to run and catch a bus I fell. I try to remember to bring a book with me to read when I have to wait.

That's weird he can't see you waving. Every time I go to the office for my office day, at the bus terminal, I don't go where they are parked, I wait for the bus to leave and wave to the driver. Thankfully, since August, no one had ignored me.

I've missed many a busy back in the "old" days and I couldn't run these days for all the money in the world. Glad you didn't have to wait long for the next bus to come along.

When I worked downtown I would always be late for the bus. The driver always stopped when he saw me running across the parking lot. Have a good day.

Yes, truly a case of Deja Vu! Sometimes, things make us remember the bygone days so much. I hope the bus journey was good enough.

I have seen others going through that . . . they run so hard down the street to catch the bus, but the bus just runs away . A 30-40 minute wait would be a bit long, but I imagine 10 minutes is not bad . . . but you know, the younger crowd seems to be quite impatient these days .

Hahaha yes most of the time when I was young. In school, in trains, everything... as if the same scenario keeps on happening, and when I told my mom she will just simply say it is just my imagination. But I don't believe her, coz most of the time even when I am just tidying our room I will stop as if it already happened before the same moment, same atmosphere and sometimes I felt like the time become so slow.

Same problem we had when I lived in Latvia, Winters brutally cold, busses run often, but that waiting time is still bad,
