The Bus-Stop * USA - Guessing Game
New York,NY,USA -The New York Times, by SOPHIA HOLLANDER -February 27, 2009: -- Marie Lewis does not take the bus often. But Ms. Lewis, a 50-year-old nurse from Rockland County, knows this much: “If you miss it, you’re in trouble,” she said at a bus stop in the East Village on a recent morning... Ms. Lewis had just hustled across 14th Street at First Avenue only to watch the M15 bus lumber away. She stared bleakly down the avenue. Cars rushed past, but the hulk of a bus was nowhere to be seen... “I’m not about to stay here forever,” she said, resolving to walk several blocks to an appointment. If she knew her bus would arrive in the next two minutes, would she wait? ... “Yes,” Ms. Lewis said emphatically. But there was no way to know... She swung around and strode down the block, two minutes before a bus arrived...
