The bus I took home—wearing black from head to toe—had a fault in the bell-rope system. We all had to yell at the driver to re-stop and open the rear door so someone could get off. As we approached my stop, I yanked on three different ropes and the bell still didn't sound. There was an express at the stop, and the driver pulled out and went around it. The two of us who wanted to get off shouted repeatedly and finally the driver pulled over and let us out. The other person ran back to the express and managed to catch it.
