i am going out on a bus 
You will be fine. I went out on a bus to visit Mr C this week. It was one of these sort of 'care in the community' things. Up here it is called 'Door 2 Door'.
You register then give them addresses a date and times then hey presto on the appointed day a mini bus rocks up at your front door takes you to your destination and at the appointed time collects you and delivers you home. 20 mile round trip for £7.50 as opposed to the day before and the day after doing the same trip in taxies £ 35.00.

Extra treat was that I was on my own (except for the driver) for both journeys (on the bus) and not once did I get a whiff of stale urine.
Unfortunately only one trip a week in the 'special' bus is allowed.

However that said it is going to be a real help with horsepickle appointments in the New Year.
