Riding the Bus V.S. Driving


One day you wake up, you go down stairs, have breakfast , and go out to the bus stop. You stand there for a few minutes until you think to yourself that maybe you missed the bus. You start up your driveway when you turn around to see the bus drive by your stop. "No! Wait!" you shout but the driver can't hear you. You go into your house and tell a family member you missed the bus. In a few short moments your out the door, in the car, and on your way. When you arrive at school  you start to think about how different taking the bus and riding in a car are. Riding a bus and being driven to school are very different in some ways, but in others they are very much the same.

Riding in a car and taking the bus are two very different things indeed. Like how when you take the bus at times it might feel as if you are sitting next to a speaker. Other times the bus could be a quiet bedroom on a cold night with only the noise of a ticking clock. But either way the noise level is usually not how you want it. I used to have a very kind bus driver that didn't really care what we did as long as we didn't hurt each other or talk too loud. But a very crucial benefit is that you have your friends to talk to and you can have a great time.

I really like to have someone to talk to on certain days of the week. In a car you can listen to music on the radio and you can control the volume so the noise it just how you want it to be. The only problem would be if you had a younger or older sibling that wouldn't stop making noise. Then at that point I would probably try to get them to stop or if it doesn't work I would probably just turn up the music or the radio.

Some things that could be the same though would be if you car pooled with some friends then you could talk to them on the way to school or do something else with them besides stare out the window and occasionally talk to the person driving you. I guess I would still prefer  riding the bus because I like talking to my friends in the morning. So driving to school and riding the bus are different and the same, I guess it depends on how you look at it. But in the end I see that they are very different.
