Late and train




 A few minutes late today, too late to catch the usual bus. There is nobody at the bus stop, and nobody in the bus shelter.
There are cars, driving agressively, noisy things, with their drivers in a hurry A white Vespa motor scooter rushes by, a woman in a white outfit perched on the seat, her foot down hard on the accelerator pedal.
The bus arrives, the driver takes money for the fare. He leaves the light's in the passenger area off, it is dark on board the bus, the only light coming in through the window, from the street lamps. at the station hurry past the cafe, go straight to the platform. The train is just arriving.
