Adversity as Strength Indicator

A confident chess master makes a move, while surrounding players struggle or watch in awe, symbolising unmatched skill. The scene reflects how true mastery leaves others imitating or frustrated, unable to compete at the same level. The atmosphere conveys a sense of control and dominance.
True mastery creates a ripple effect—where imitation, frustration, and admiration all follow in its wake

Mastery that Sets You Apart

If no one tries to copy your route, it means you’re not steering the ultimate path—the one that makes all the other buses murmur in envy. If no one talks about your driving behind your back, it means your turns are too flawless to even mention. You've reached peak precision, making every corner feel like a scene from an action film.

If people are asking for a free ride, it means you’ve become the legend of the public transport world—your bus is an exclusive experience, and everyone wants a taste of your special route. The doors open, and they’re not just boarding a bus; they’re entering a realm where smooth acceleration and effortless stops are the standard.

If someone gives you a strange look when they board, it means you’re commanding respect from the moment you pull up. They’re not questioning your driving—they’re wondering how they’ve lived their life without knowing what true driving power feels like.

If passengers watch how you handle the potholes, it means you’ve got finesse—so smooth that even the roughest bumps feel like an invitation to dance. You glide over every crack and crater as if your bus were a luxury vehicle, not just a city transport.

If someone tells you how to drive, it means you’re just too good for the amateurs. They see your effortless control, and now they’re trying to sneak a few tips to catch up with your level. You’re a bus-driving virtuoso, and everyone else is struggling to match your unmatched rhythm of the road.

If someone complains about the fare, it means your route is worth every penny. The views, the smoothness, the quietude of a ride that feels more like a glide—they’re paying for an experience, not just a seat. Your bus isn’t merely a way from Point A to Point B—it’s an epic journey that could lift their spirits.

If other drivers don’t give you the nod, it means you haven't yet reached professional status. You’re the rookie who’s about to be crowned the king of the road, and all it takes is a few more flawless manoeuvres to earn the respect of your fellow drivers. You’re not just driving a bus—you’re redefining what it means to be behind the wheel.

And if no one peers over to see your smooth lane changes? Well, it means you're driving like a phantom—you’ve become so good, so slick, that they can’t even see the brilliance in motion. You’re a quiet storm, navigating the streets with such effortless grace that the entire city might just be missing the masterpiece unfolding before their eyes.

Edinburgh Bus 21: Route Learning Guide

By
Royal Infirmary, smell ae bleach an’ despair, folk coughin like they’re in some consumptive choir. Ye fire up the bus, sweat oan yer neck, mind racin. Strap in: the 21’s a marathon ae schemies, seagulls, prams an’ patter. This yin’s a journey through aw the layers ae Edinburgh, frae sterile hospital corridors tae Niddrie chaos tae Porty chips tae Leith pish alleys tae Clermiston hills tae Clovenstone carnage. Nae guidebook glamour, just the city showin ye its erse. Stops melt intae each other, roads twist an’ bite, but ye learn the rhythm. It’s survival wi’ humour, misery wi’ banter. The streets keep ye honest, or just broken. Little France tae Greendykes Ye start at Little France Crescent, place buzzin like a kicked wasps’ nest. Folk leggin it tae shifts, taxis blockin ye, some aul’ yin wae a zimmer shoutin at the wind. Ye crawl roon Little France Drive, slip intae Pringle, then back tae Little France Drive again, wonderin if the road designer wis oan mushrooms. Sandilands Close, Gree...
