Diary of a bus ride
I THOUGHT taking public transportation would be a horrific experience. And at first it was. But that was mainly because I was unaccustomed to it and did not want to do, but alas I had no choice.

Bus it to St Thomas
TRAVELLING BY bus to St. Thomas to Kingston is traumatic. There is no way that I can sugar-coat travelling on the coaster buses to my hometown. I love my parish and have living there since 1989, it is beautiful and peaceful.


The ride of my life
I HAVEN'T taken the bus home in years; my last year of high school in '99 to be exact. So I expected a bumpy, crowded ride all the way to Temple Hall in rural St. Andrew.


Robot Ride
SO I'VE spent 35 minutes waiting at the bus stop for a robot taxi that is heading to Half-Way Tree. Two buses are approaching, but I won't take them because I would certainly be late. I think I'd rather wait for the taxi.


Riding a Mini-Bus to May Pen
THE JOURNEY from Kingston to May Pen is quite similar to the experience of the song "Two White Girls on a Mini-Bus" in the song written by Althea and Donna, except I am not white.
