So when I went out this morning it was to a nearby town. Not sure if it was last week or the week before that I last went there, Anyway, I was sitting on the bus ….minding my own business ….when suddenly the bus turned right ! It shouldn’t have done ! It should have carried straight on. Eye eye I thought , I’m in for a mystery tour today ….good thing I’m not in a hurry ! I looked around and on one else seemed to have either noticed or were not the slightest bit bothered ….. Hhhmmmm, strange goings on I thought …… After travelling three or four streets the bus turned and ended up just a few hundred yards from the road it had turned off from. Then I saw the signs….. Turns out that there were road works and the bus was just diverted. Only took a couple of minutes extra, but I do think the passengers should have been told, or a sign put up at the bus station stop in town. Would you have panicked if you had been on that bus ?

Had I have been in a rush I think I would have been like that. The fact that everyone else seemed okay with it made me think it was just diverted…..I just didn’t know where I was. I get on the bus in my town and get off in the next town …..anywhere in between and I haven’t a clue. A sign in the bus station was all it would have taken , just to let people know.

Yes, I would have freaked out. I have dreams that I don't know where the bus is and I don't know where to get off! lol

I would have been reading a book so probably wouldn't have noticed the diversion.

I would have been a bit concerned. I'm glad it got on the right track eventually.

for our local train & bus networks, we have a mobile application that informs us about any change in the route / timings etc...that way its convenient
