FILM REVEIW
For weeks the rumours had flowed around the small tw'n
towns somewhere on the edge of the larger city that the bus
that was now pulling in was a new alternative form of trans-
-port that had been devised by the collaberation between the
scientists and the television programmers. The stores varied
between the actual interior of the bus . which noone had seen
and the effiecient nature of the timetabling. Get you to the
work place in double quick y time.to the shopping center in
before closing time. To the bank just as it opened after lunch.
All time to make life easyer. Although the bus would be filled
in the rush hour filled with commuter to the city/work place
it would wait just that little bit longer for the odd straggling
workers . .slightly longer that all could get on board, .nothing
sinister about that and still get every one there at the train
station before the wait at the platform crowd was too long or
rushed. No ra'n or leaking roofs nor disturbing engine noise.
The bus was a time capsule that took you through the route
with anxia.ty or fear of being late.
The bus dr'yer waited then lured the small child with the pro
-mace " 1'ir'take you right tot the school gates, " and this
polite and clean service was on its way.
At the termination proggressive organised executives bought
the retum'ticket for their journey after work to the home place
The r sk that the same bus would not be waiting after disen-
-barking from the train in the early evenning was a factor that
was beyond possibility.. .some held the new ticket in chock -
-olate hot melted eager to please hands ready for some future
date others took the bus straight away back to where they had
come to enjoy the journey again in the comfortable surrounds,
Outside the tinted windows the rain poured down on those
unfortunate pedestrians who time had left behind, .still walk-
-ing to work or to the car.
Getting off the bus the driver shook your hand accompanied
by a seductive smile, .welomed you aboard, .lead you to you
seat. .the regulars had invested in personalised name plates
tn brass.. with a small eppigraph printed below.." Here sits
XXX rest in comfort. " a sugar cube to suck on and the driver
began the bus like a bed-time story.. " are you all sitting
comfortable" then he began.
