QUICKIE, ENDS SUNDAY

So this is my first contest, i decided to host it seeing as i like commenting on peoples work, and getting constructive criticism on my own work.

Basically, i want you to write a poem... shorter rather than long. It can be any theme -
humor/sad/emotional/love... etc.

ONLY THING : It must contain public transport.
Be it a train, a bus, a car, anything! This can be used as a metaphore,or a setting, whatever you see fit.

Impress me

And dont bother with any of this crazy alignment, centered or left please, not some piece thats spaced all over the place like some i see here. Enjambment is fine of course.

(thanks to phooey69 on deviantart for the image)

Buses carry lots. Unmistakable colors and smells. Sad people thinking their sad songs.
