I hate when that happens. Reminds me of Charlie Brown in "Race for your Life Charlie Brown" - always missing the bus. Catch a
ride with Snoops!
This happened at the beginning :)
I never do more begging in my life than when I'm running for a bus and the driver has just shut the door and doesn't see me... please please please let me on!
This used to happen to me in Boston, but the Green Line was slow enough that I could catch it at the next stop.
This also used to happen to me in California, so I bought a car.
In NYC bus drivers don't open the doors even if you beg, even if they're waiting at a red light, those bastards.
In Rio they do, even if there are two lanes between the bus and the pavement.
