Today, I went on an errand, and on the way back wanted to take the bus. Missed an empty one (meaning which had some seats free), then remaining were with people standing already.
Didn't have the guts to take it, and let them go. After some 15-20 minues took an Uber back, tail between the legs. (Will try another day, hopefully soon)
PS: Haven't taken a bus in long time. (WFH, and so no regular travel)
