The Bus in Loma Linda (A Bad Experience)







In my first days in the USA , I used to live in Loma Linda .I was staying in a nice apartment with my sister and her husband .It was a perfect place to live in because everything was nearby ,I  didn't need to buy a car .Actually the bus was enough ,it comes every 10 minutes and it take me wherever I went ,I found a bus near to us .However , I usually rode the bus with my sister , and she did everything .she paid and chose the bus ,and I never  looked at the number of the bus or the time . In addition, when the quarter began, we went to the same places to study, but that’s day my sister was absent, so my sister taught me how to ride the bus .It was kind of easy. That day, I waited for Bus 14 in the opposite way, but it was the same number that we road every time, so I was thinking that I was right .I rode the bus and sat in the chair. Half an hour later, I was still on the bus, and I didn't see my apartment yet .Moreover, after 40 minutes I realized that I took the wrong bus. When I asked someone near me, he said that we would go downtown. At that time, I felt that I was still lost. I talk to the bus driver to help to go back to my apartment .He said, “ OK” so he will finish his route ,then he will picked me and returned me to the Loma Linda hospital where was nearby my sister apartment. I thank God I found a good man who helped me at that time. Otherwise, I would be lost until my sister wake up. Finally, I returned to my lovely home and learned a lot from this bad experience (that I will never go out without my sister).

  1. Hahahahahah Gosh I also have a same experience and it happened the very last weekend! I and my friend visited Tyler mall by the bus no.1. After 3 hours-shopping, we took the no.1 bus again to return to home, but the direction was oppiosite! I was very annoied by the fact that I didn't check the signal which indicate its direction on the bus before we took it.

  2. As a result, I got a great lesson that I need to check the direction as well as the number of a bus, haha. -Minji Lee

  4. It is a funny story... by the way, the transportation facilities are not good in Southern California, so the best thing that you can do to avoid such troubles is owning a car.

  5. haha, you are so funny, Abdullah. I had a lot of similar experience with you. When I was in my country, Taiwan, I usually took subway or bus to everwhere. I didn't make a mistake about the direction. On the contrary, I like to talk with my friends while I was taking a transportation, so I always miss the station where I want to get off.
