What’s wrong with this picture?
We spend quite a bit of time waiting for busses. Occasionally the stops are covered and have advertisements on the sides. This advertisement is for the bus system itself, APM Perugia, encouraging people to buy yearly bus passes. However, while waiting one day, we noticed that there are several things wrong with this picture…
- The girl in the back of the bus is not holding on to her things. Bad idea.
- There is a cat on the bus. Usually people bring enormous dogs.
- There is a person on top of the bus. Another bad idea.
- The driver isn’t talking on a cell phone or reading a newspaper.
- People are hanging out the windows, which, while not unusual itself, implies that the windows are open. We’ve noticed that no matter the temperature, Italians don’t like to have windows open. Ever.
We almost always appreciate the bus system here. But it does have its quirks!
