when is a bus not a bus?

when you can walk faster...

The usual principle of bus services is that if you take a number of people from destination A- destination B, you then provide a bus to collect the people from destination B and return them to destination A. Not so First Bus, south/west Wales, who much prefer to advertise the return journey and then just don't send it.
Mean while I stood stoically on the icy welsh hillside, where even the sheep would have sought a hedge, at the bus stop, which is a lie, and doesn't have a shelter, thinking I'm going to be ill...for forty-five minutes without getting angry! I just promised myself that I would never wait for a fictitious bus again. And when a bus came, I got it even though it was not going anywhere near my destination A.
It's this sort of thing that gets this town its name, and I don't mean Swansea...
