        I liked this story for one main reason. I enjoyed it because of the character descriptions. Even though this story was only a few minutes long, you feel like you know the characters quite well. Especially the person who is telling the story. His attitude is quite pessimistic which gives the story a humorous tone. Also, the characters are very different from each other. But, they seem to be the typical people you would meet on a bus (if that makes sense). The fat bus driver, the crazy lady, the guy who won't be quiet, and the person who considers himself better than all of them. It is somewhat stereotypical which makes it funny and interesting to read.
