The Bus
 
This is not just the regular story of a bus and it's passengers. It's a bus with symbols and symbolism, where every character has a meaning and is represented in real life. It is now for the reader to decipher /make out the meaning.

"Driver, please get us out of here. We don't want to get stuck in the tornado behind us. The Tyre is flat, if we are not fast enough to fix our Tyre, this tornado will catch up with us. Can't you switch to the extra Tyre". "Calm down, the thing is, we will get a way of pumping the Tyre. We are gathering as much as possible air as we can". "It seems this driver knows only how to install security devices and does not know how to change tyres. It seems we need a new driver who can drive as well as fix flat and punctured tyres".

The beginning of the journey
The bus as been around for over 50 days ago but I will like to start from when it was changed from right hand drive to left hand drive. The bus had been controlled by uniformed drivers who drove it when it was in the right hand drive. But 17 days ago, we got the kind of driver we clamoured for . The first driver was quite successful. The reason for his success is that he already drove the bus while it was on the right hand drive. Those of uswho just got on the bus about 20 days ago got the story of the bus from those who had been on the bus since 60-70 days ago and those who are about to get off the bus. The first driver handed over to the second driver after 8 days.

 The second driver alighted suddenly due to a brief illness. Drivers are meant to change shifts after 4-8 days depending on how well he drives. The third driver came in as an acting driver to complete the remaining two days. Then the bus started having problems. Passengers from some part of the bus started pushing people forcefully out of the bus. The driver could not stop them from doing that. But despite that fact the passengers chose him to continue driving for another four days. Did I tell you that it is only one company that has been supplying the bus with drivers. Other companies tried to take over but did not get through with the third driver. The passengers chose him because he knew how to maintain tyres such that they don't get flat. By the end of his 4 days of driving, Power decided to change Hands. The passengers decided to change the driving company from VDV to AVC. The VDV had been producing drivers for 16 days.

The present
Yesterday, the fourth driver came on board. Like the first driver, he too had driven the car while it was right handed. He was formerly a uniformed driver too. This driver is a disciplinarian and ordered every passenger to come in with their CHANGE, although he too had it. From yesterday till today, we have faced so many troubles. Troubles that are much more than the ones we've been through since 16 days. The current driver does not know how to change or fix flat tyres. Although the security devices he installed has helped reduce the forceful alighting of passengers
The Tyre is flat and we are not going anywhere until it is fixed or changed.
The passengers are sorry for changing the company that produces drivers. The driver is trying to get money to pump the Tyre and so the fare has increased. The passengers are screaming but the driver is just giving excuses. Please help us beg the driver
