Sometimes badly organised things can be in your advantage.
Had booked a "bus" trip. Because of the Sunday, not many passengers are expected, so the bus will not go from the trainstation to the village I was born. But, you can call in, tell with how many people you want to travel from A-B and a taxi will arrive and drop you at the bus stop of your choice for the price of a bus ticket/bus pass charge.
They never got that bus pass charging right, so, we travelled for free.
