Have you ever missed bus or train? What did you do then?

Yes, it was a day i missed a bus and was late for school. It was around 5.45 AM. the bus arrives ate 6 AM but i went there at 6.02 AM. The hasty bus driver did not want to stop although he saw me running wildly for the bus at the bus stop.

Well, I have missed the bus and train a few times in my life. The only thing left to do is to wait for another one after. Or, find another way to get to your destination quickly. Yes, sometimes the cost to get on another bus/train hurts but well, if you need to go somewhere, you need to.

Yes, I have missed the train on the way to work before because the train station is already full and the next train will come at a later time which will make me late for work. Since I really don't want to be late for work, I just hailed a taxi cab even if it costs me so much more so I can still go to work.

i missed a train from taiyuan to shanghai last before last year?that's a snowing day and spring festival was coming,and bullion of people wanted to get a ticket to go home at the station,this was very disaster for those people who wanted to be home before the holiday? i thought that i had enough time to get the train,and i was late by the weather and a little traffic jam,so i had to buy an air ticket for my mistake?anyway i arrived shanghai eventually?

Hi dear!
Once we were going to Vaisno Devi for pilgrimage and my mother-in-law and sister in law was also to accompany us. On that day there was a huge traffic jam. We somehow managed to reach the station just 15 minutes before the departure of the train, which was leave Delhi railway station for Jammu. However, when the train started, we were surprised to see that my mother in law and sister in law failed to arrive at the station, though we had the information that they were on their way to railway station. They apparently missed the train due to traffic jam. They did not lose their courage and boarded another train for Jammu and to our astonishment reached Jammu early in the morning, before out train could reach (they had boarded a super fast train, though they could not get berth, someone they manage to travel). I had to get the their tickets cancelled at Jammu station and I was later refunded less than half the amount.

Hi aunty,

Ella Unnaru,

Till now i have not missed the bus or the train. I will be 15 to 30 minutes early to the venue. Once my aunty had missed the express train from bangalore to hubli she also waited for the next train and faced the problems like no slepper berth and no place to sit. This happened to her when she was suppose attend her niece marriage reception.

I missed a bus when I was traveling in Western Australia. Buses were just twice a week so therefore that was a shook for me. So the bus I was meant to be on went on Tuesday and I had to wait around until Saturday. It was quite boring for me because it was a peaceful little town in a rural area. I went walking in the woods and climbed a tree used as a fire lookout.

I got on a train and there was a question of if it went to Prague or Vienna. I almost stayed on the train and luckily got off in time before I missed the train to Prague. So a near miss can be almost as bad as missing a train in the middle of the night.

In a small train station in Bulgaria I had to wait for hours for the Istanbul to Bucharest train. It was many hours late. Coming back from Romania to Bulgaria my train was very late into Bucharest. It arrived with minutes to spare before my train to Bulgaria. I rushed to get a ticket and amazingly got the train. Again it was another near miss and only one departure a day.

I live in NYC, and during the mornings I sometimes have to wait for the 3rd train to come before I can go on, and it's always extremely crowded, only because the subway stop I take is where a lot of businessmen and women from Wall Street also watch the 4, so it's definitely a pain. But fortunately, our trains come about every 5 minutes, but sometimes that 5 minutes can be vital to me, but either way, there's not much I can do but wait for the next train since a bus would take even longer to come (about 15 minute wait for the next bus,) and driving here is impossible. But it's so frustrating to miss a bus or a train, especially when you're so close to catching it but it leaves without you!!

it is a horrible experience,i have faced two weeks ago.i missed a bus at that time i faced so many problems like lack of sleep,lack of food because incident happened at 11pm.after 2hours i travel in a auto and reaches to my small village.
