Walking is the safe option...

I do have a bee in my bonnet. Just one. That´s the Fortaleza bus system.

Although there always seem to be plenty of people on them, no-one - and I mean no-one - seems to know which one I need to take to get from one side of town to the other.

And the attendants on the bus are no better. Yesterday I asked one if we went to the beach. Yes, he said, only for the bus to turn around at the next junction and go back on itself, AWAY from the beach.

...Also Sao Paulo bus system, sometimes I wonder if the driver feels like he can change the course as he wishes or if he really know where he is going to...
But the weirdest thing happened to me in London when the buses had to take only one diferent road as the usual because of a problem in Camden Chanel, and then the bus went on and on and nobody seems to know where we were, neither the bus driver... we got lost! That was funny!
