In my experience, since never goes wrong, but in the last winter I had a meeting on the center of the city, in the center of the country. Over the night I traveled on the bus because the train ticket was already sold and the plane ticket was very expensive to reach my destination. When I hate traveling long distance by bus, especially at night, let’s say mostly I can’t sleep to sitting up. During the trip I opened the window and I started to sing everything at night. It was better to sitting up and playing video games or something else. But in the middle of the day the bus suddenly broken his wheels and after a few minutes the driver left the bus. The driver went off and checked the minute in the 5 minutes. But the driver came again for half an hour. It was seem good during 4 hours because all passengers were sleeping and I wasn’t as lucky as others because I can’t sleep in the city. After 2 hours the passengers woke up and the driver didn’t come up during the trip.

In my experience, nothing ever goes wrong, but last winter I had a meeting in the center of the city, in the center of the country. Overnight, I traveled on the bus because the train ticket was already sold out and the plane ticket was very expensive to reach my destination. I hate traveling long distances by bus, especially at night, as I mostly can't sleep sitting up. During the trip, I opened the window and started to sing everything at night. It was better than sitting up and playing video games or something else. But in the middle of the trip, the bus suddenly broke down. After a few minutes, the driver left the bus. He went off and checked for about 5 minutes. But the driver came back after half an hour. It seemed good during those 4 hours because all the passengers were sleeping, and I wasn't as lucky as the others because I couldn't sleep on the bus. After 2 hours, the passengers woke up, and the driver still hadn't returned during the trip.
