HA!!!! This is sooo true. I remember when I was working up in Intel, I
could never be sure what bus I was getting on - the 3:50 or the 3:15. Once
for a few days, I asked what bus they were. Maybe 3 out of 5 times, the
bus I caught at 3:10 or 3:15 was actually the 3:50 bus. Either that or 3
busses would all arrive at the same time at around 3:20 and people would
still happily stand at the two bus stops (20 yards apart for some reason)
and wait without complaint.

Join that bus to the 66b on any day at all and ALL 66/67 busses on a
Sunday where it's not unusual for a bus to be an hour late (Trust me -
it's happened) not to mention ...................etc
