Nakedbus

Here's my story:

I was waiting for the 8.30am bus from Manukau City to Hamilton at the central bus stop. A bus arrived at 8.20am and so, assuming it was my 8.30am bus, I checked my reservation with the driver but was told my bus will be the next to arrive. Come 8.30am, I ran through my reservation with the bus driver and oddly enough, the fella didn't have my reservation but told me to jump on the bus anyways. So I did. Next thing I knew, I heard the driver on the PA going "Welcome to Nakedbus...". I had my reservation for an Intercity bus. I kept silent, of course. Better on a bus than not at all.

For the record, I do not remember seeing a Nakedbus logo on the bus I took as it looked pretty much like the Intercity Rotorua tourist bus. So really, the bus system for coaches here needs some improvement. Time versatility is near excellent but it causes mishaps when a bus or two runs late.
