    Do be aware that bus companies are allowed to run buses five minutes earlier or later than the advertised time, so if you just got to the bus stop a couple of minutes before departure time and missed it then you are out of luck.
    That's inaccurate; the allowances are one minute early and five minutes late.

    I believe the Chief Commissioner is considering amendments to the rules, probably making then stricter.

    OT: how many last minute passengers have that valuable "mine-is-never-wrong watch"?;) Drivers too!

    Thanks, I have already written to First Bus (no reply yet). but i didn't think of getting a receipt from the taxi driver at the time.

    I guess you could phone the taxi company and ask if they still have a record of your trip? They might then issue you a receipt.
