Besides that, they are very parochial and don't like going out of their own home region and often they meet an empty bus in the middle of the night - negotiate a 'handover fee' - and order everyone off their bus and onto the other bus. You get a few kliks down the road at night and they announce that they are not going to your intended destination but are heading elsewhere and if you do not want to go in that direction so you had better get off <i>Now!</i>. <br /><br />Usually leaving you stranded by the road, in the middle of the night and far from where you want to be in a strange land!JohnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608216150220329902noreply@blogger.com
