Reply #24: Back in the olden days, we were booted off the bus regularly...

and it wasn't just for bad behavior. The bus my brothers and I rode on had three separate routes. If a stopped train threatened to screw up the schedule, we would be unceremoniously dumped off a half mile from home, with the warning not to crawl under the train.

We just looked at it as another adventure, no big deal. Of course, things are very different now, and I would have been upset if this had happened to my kids.
