Bored on the Bus

This morning [Ed: actually, yesterday morning], the regular bus to work was replaced by a Sydney Explorer coach which is considerably more comfortable than the regular bus but it doesn't have a sign telling you where it is going. The poor bus driver had to keep telling people that it was a 373 service to Circular Quay via Tailor Square / Oxford Street.
From where I catch the bus almost any service will do. The quickest bus to work is either 373 or 377 (same route to the City). Next choice is 374 or 376 which both go to Circular Quay via Central. Finally there is the 372 which is a Central only service which would mean getting either another bus or a train to get to Town Hall (which is where I work).
Back to this morning. The weather is just cold enough to make your breath visible but there is so much glare you need sunglasses. The wind is chilly and suggests that it could well be snowing down south (it does not snow in Sydney). Lots of people out and about because I am running a little bit late and today is the first day back (term 3) at school for students who have just had their two week winter holiday.
