I missed my bus because I booked for 01:00 trip and I thought it was in the afternoon but it was at 1:00 in the morning. I didn't catch the time difference. When I waited for an open seat the bus driver couldn't get my card to work and this was the for everyone that was waiting for open seats. So we went to a different bus stop and all of our cards worked fine and we made it to our destination. The first driver was very upset that I misread the time and was rude.
