Airport Transportation

I took the shuttle to the airport yesterday morning - way way way too early, but at least it comes with a little story that I meant to post last night. The shuttle arrived in time, and the driver announced he has a list with 11 reservations, which is probably the max for the little bus. So, the driver started to load the luggage in when a woman asked him if he takes credit cards. Now, the concierge told me that I need to buy a ticket in advance, which I did. After he explained that he only takes cash, she said that she has to get money and ran back inside.

The driver waited but after she didn’t get back after 10 minutes he said he has to leave to keep his schedule. The drive to the airport took 45 minutes; we dropped off one passenger after the other, and together with two ladies I was on the last stop. Everyone took their bags - but there was one lonely bag left. Unfortunately, none of us claimed the bag and we realized that that must be the bag of the woman that never returned.

I was feeling so sorry, because she is of course screwed and will either miss her flight or have a terrible time trying to get her bag. I have no idea how this will end for her - too bad I don’t get her side of the story.
