There is no excuse for being late...Discipline yourself to wake up earlier, plan ahead, prepare for unexpected things like having a flat. Familiarize yourself with bus schedules and arrive at your bus stop few minutes before the bus comes. Don't leave everything until the last minute.
My bike is far more reliable!

The next day, riding the same route again, another passenger was complaining how the evening before, the last bus never came by even though he was waiting for it and finally had to walk. I realized he was waiting for the bus that I caught.

As I've mentioned ... it's Buzzfeed. Just people (who have probably had a bit to drink) submitting "funny" lists. Maybe he passed out at 19.

I've been voluntarily car free for one year and a half right now.. Most of those are ridiculously wrong.
Not even that funny except for one or two of them.

Car-free 11 years, car-lite 4 years before that. I ride a bus less than 20 days per year, when surface conditions are TOO BAD to ride, or the RARE day when I think it's a bit too chilly (-5F or lower, generally).
