Bas Mini Trip

Yesterday, I went for a steamboat dinner with my friends nearby Sunway Pyramid. We ate until 9.30 at night. Due to the fact that the whole gang of us do not have our own transports, we were wondering around the restaurant to find a teksi to go home. Unfortunately, we didn't get it, so we walk back to Sunway Pyramid because it will be easier to get a public transport at the shopping complex.

After some distance of walking, we finally reach Sunway Pyramid. We actually saw a lot of teksi standing by at there and also a BAS MINI waiting there. Suddenly, 1 of my friend suggested us to take the Bas Mini instead of teksi as it costs only 70cent compare to rm3 for teksi and he say it takes only 5minutes more than a teksi to reach our home which is at subang jaya ss15. The only disadvantage is that there is no air-conditioned provided. However, we decided to save some money, so we just pay to the bus driver and went in the little bus.

Things unusual happen as we realized that the route was a bit different today, instead of turning right as usual, the driver turn left, but we still thought it is inside Subang Jaya so we stay stable. After some time, we start to mumbling with each other as we have been sitting in the bus for about 30minutes as normally we only need 10 minutes to reach home. Later on, the bus even cross a toll. We start discussing whats the problem today, and i went on to ask the driver and questioned him he don't pass by our place today. Oh, my god!!!!! He told me that the route is different for this trip and he also pointed that the signboard had already shown in front but none of us realized. Finally, we went down at a petrol station after the toll. We did stop some teksi to ask for the prices to back home but it was really costly, so one of my friend called her sister and she fetched us home.

As a conclusion, this incident actually happened just because of the lack of communication between us and the bus driver. We did not take the trouble to ask the driver earlier even we were not sure where the bus is going. It teaches us to ask as soon as possible whenever we are not sure on anything.
