Our Day Out

Every couple of months my friends and I plan a day out in Manchester. We get the bus into the town centre from Moston and not have to worry about driving home after a few drinks.
I hate waiting for buses, but it's not often we have to wait longer than five minutes on a Saturday afternoon for a bus to come along, and we hop on for the short 15 minute ride into the centre.
No one has to worry about being in charge of the car keys to get us home safely because we know we can rely on the bus to get us back home again - and all for the price of a bag of chips. And there's no risk of losing the keys while we're out and about either!
If we took the car with us we?d only have to make our way back into town in the morning to pick it up. And then there?s always the worry that we could still be over the limit and could get pulled over by the police.
A one-way taxi ride, for the same journey, would cost us at least £5 more - it just wouldn't make sense.
The bus allows us the freedom to do what we want during the day, for just a couple of quid. A bargain in my book!
