Roses are red, the bus is on time, I never knew love until I saw you in line!



Roses are red, the seats are askew, coffee’s gone cold, and so are you.



Roses are red, the route’s a disaster, if you’re late again, I’ll make you walk faster.



Roses are red, the route’s a bit long, but let’s get a pizza and sing a song.



Roses are red, this much I can see, violets are purple, so stop arguing with me.



Roses are red, violets are blue, get on the bus, or I’ll leave without you!



Roses are red, my fares are all due, white wine’s cheaper than a ride for two.



Roses are red, the roads are all blocked, I’m unoriginal, but my bus is well stocked.



Roses are red, the bus lane’s so mellow, I’m hoping this poem will get me a fellow.



Roses are red, the bus is on cue, you’re a bit mad, but I’ll still drive for you.



Roses are red, the route’s quite wide, you’d look better with me on the driver’s side.



Roses are red, the seats are so tight, how about we explore what's hidden tonight?



Roses are red, I’m stuck in a queue, I hate poetry, but I’m into you.



Roses are red, the brakes they squeak, but I’m more into you than my steering wheel creaks.



Roses are red, the fare’s a bit steep, but let’s get together and make this love leap.



Roses are red, the heater’s turned up too, is it just me, or is it you?



Roses are red, the bus is on track, I’m allergic to flowers, but I’ll drive you back.



Roses are red, I’ve got routes to plan, romance isn't dead, I’ve got a bus in hand



Roses are red, the fare’s overdue, but you’ve made all my dreams come true!



Roses are red, your body’s a tease, let’s ditch the bus and do as we please.



Roses are red, your touch is a spark, let’s get off this bus and light up the dark



Roses are red, your lips are divine, how about we skip the stop and make some time?



Roses are red, let’s make it a thrill, I’ll take you somewhere, and we’ll go for the kill

 


So, What’s Next? The Bus Ride You Didn’t See Coming…

The Rolling Chronicles: Life, Lanes, and Lessons from the Driver’s Seat

As a city bus driver, I'm not just steering through traffic, I'm navigating a sea of stories, personalities, and unexpected moments. From heartfelt conversations to the chaos of the commute, every ride is an unscripted adventure. So, join me behind the wheel as we dive into the life and lanes of public transport, where every journey has a tale to tell. Navigating the City Through Stories: The Bus Driver’s Perspective on Life and Lanes Public transit isn’t just about getting from point A to B, it’s a living, breathing network of people, stories, and unexpected moments. This blog is where bus drivers, transport pros, and curious passengers come together, sharing experiences from behind the wheel and beyond. As a city bus driver, I’m more than just a navigator, I’m a storyteller, a streetwise sage, and sometimes even an impromptu therapist. Every shift is an unscripted adventure, filled with colourful characters, urban rhythms, and the occasional bit of chaos. From late-night conf...

Route Learning Log: Service 21 – Clovenstone to Royal Infirmary

I’ve never driven the 21, but I already know its rhythm: the sharp inhale before a narrow turn, the lull of wide suburban streets, the murmur of students crossing in Sighthill, and the quiet expectation of reaching the Royal Infirmary.  Today, it exists only in my notebook, in imagined brake lights and familiar smells of the city, as I try to memorise six sections of Edinburgh one careful corner at a time. Clovenstone to Sighthill – The Estate Escape Clovenstone’s your starting pistol, low-rise flats, stairwells, and the sound of doors shutting just as you pull up. Wester Hailes Park and Hailesland Place blend into each other with that west Edinburgh rhythm: plenty of crossing points, kids darting across the grass shortcuts, and the odd shopping trolley that’s somehow migrated half a mile from the supermarket. Murrayburn Park brings more of the same before Westside Plaza appears, part shopping centre, part social hub, part clock you can set your watch by. From there, Calder Drive s...

Homework Run: Scouting Service 4 from Queen Margaret University to Snowsports Centre

From coastline breezes to hilltop views, I’m plotting the perfect route, before I’ve even touched the steering wheel. Crossing Edinburgh without leaving my chair: A homework journey on Service 4. A desk-chair journey across Edinburgh, from campus calm to Pentland peaks, undertaken with nothing but a stop list, an overactive imagination, and the faint hope that the live version won’t involve too much swearing. Section 1: The Academic Warm-Up We start at Queen Margaret University, a place where the roads are wide, the air is fresh, and the biggest hazard is probably a student wandering out mid-scroll on their phone. From Queen Margaret Drive to Milton Link, it’s all fairly civilised, the sort of stretch where you think, I could do this all day. Then comes Corbiewynd and Parrotshot. According to Street View, these are perfectly normal residential turns. But I’ve driven enough “normal” turns to know they can become “hold-my-coffee” moments once real-life Edinburgh drivers get involved. By ...
