Surviving Bus Journeys (for fun!)

Introduction

A long, long time ago, the only way to get anywhere was just walking. Then, someone invented busses. Then, some smartarse pointed out that the situation hadn’t changed. Then, we pointed out to the smartarse that the situation had changed; you can get places by walking, or by burning all the unsold copies of this book and powering a hot air balloon. Putting this into the introduction proved to be a fatal flaw for book sales, and so now, the book is online for your perusal, and if you burn anything, it’ll be your paper which you were daft enough to print this rubbish onto.

In this book, we seek to explain how to best utilise those bastions of transportational excellence, feet, and (in a little more detail) how to utilise failures which prove essential without also being useful, busses.
