Have you ever accidentally gotten on a bus that was going out of service?

What do you expect would happen next? The driver would probably open the door and tell you to get off, and they wouldn't start driving until the bus was empty.

But that's not what happened to two tourists in Kyoto.

When they accidentally got on a bus that was going out of service in early June, the driver just closed the doors and drove away with them still on board.

And yes, he knew they were there.

But he was afraid to talk to them because they were foreigners, and he didn't know how to communicate with them.

As The Asahi Shimbun reported, the tourists — a man and a woman — got on the bus through the back door after all the other passengers exited at Kyoto station.

When they realized what had happened, the tourists asked the driver to stop, but he didn't understand them and just kept driving.

He later said he thought it would be best to deal with them at the bus terminal office.

When the driver wouldn't stop, the tourists called the police. An officer spoke to the driver over the phone, and the driver finally stopped.

They had been driving for around 20 minutes, traveling a distance of about 4 kilometers.

The West Japan JR Bus Company said: "We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. Our employee training was insufficient, and our employee did not handle the situation correctly. We will thoroughly train our employees in the future."

Kyoto has a number of train and subway lines, but some of its most famous sites are most conveniently visited by bus — including Kiyomizudera temple in the east, and the gold-covered Kinkakuji temple in the northwest.

Pues porque viajar por ese continente saca lo mejor de uno mismo y eso provoca unas ganas de compartir y eso directamente te hace hablar. Además, el norte de Marruecos fue un protectorado español hasta hace 60 años y hay muchas personas que hablan español. por todo eso.
