Having to take the bus

Having to take the bus. I, like most kids, take the bus. For starters, I hate taking the bus. First of all, I have no friends on my bus. No one to pass the time with, it’s horrible. Having no friends on the bus is like being sent to summer camp with people you know, but nothing in common, and nothing to talk about. I don't know what it is about my bus, but most of the people don't know how to keep their thoughts to themselves, or keep their voices down. Most of them listen to their music out loud so that everyone can hear, rather than wear headphones. Further more, busses don't have seat belts, and my bus driver is a little on the reckless side. Anytime we hit a bump, I feel like I’ve been punched from my seat, which really annoyes me. Would it kill the bus company to hire a better bus driver, or install seat belts before some kid is killed. Our country makes it mandatory for children to wear seatbelts, but we seem to think it’s ok not to wear them on a school bus. I do however appreciate the no food rule, but when it’s broken, I'm ready to jump off the bus, and walk home, even if it means walking an hour, just to avoid the family stinky family recipe. Yes, the bus offers free service to kids, but there's so much that comes along with it and I don't like it. One other thing that drives me crazy is that you can’t get dropped off where you want. For example, my bus drives past my street, and continues three blocks before the driver actually drops me off. Even worse, I’m dropped off two blocks from my street. It makes no sense. Why would anyone want to drive a bus, winters are freezing cold, there’s too much rain in the spring, and summers are too hot to be riding around without air conditioning. Yes, the bus offers free service to kids, but there’s so much that comes along with it that I just don’t like.
