What's the point of the slightly newer bus? It doesn't make the half-hour wait any more tolerable.
My record, and this was on a business bus, was 40 mins, having arrived at 01:20 from Male'. Traffic was bad, driver jerked the bus a lot, no visibility, so my two year old vomited chunks. That was GREAT! The time made it much better too. Two year old lip wobbled...... :-(
