My annoyance was because we'd been waiting for the bus for ages and the delay caused us to miss the lights. These lights are at a crossroads and missing them adds at least two minutes to your journey, more if there are vehicles in front. I wouldn't have been quite so annoyed if I wasn't running late for work already through no fault of my own.

They don't take cash anymore on London buses which has speeded things up.
