Is it normal this bus ride was very creepy
I work evening shifts this week as a woman I feel very unsafe taking the bus home when its pitch black out because its winter and I live in a town and work in an even smaller town so often nobody takes the bus but me. Tonight I noticed quickly the driver wasnt taking the usual road. I was already a bit on edge because of all the warnings lately because its extremely icy out and the warnings also say stick to big roads which gets tended to more but this bus driver did the opposite. The usual route is to drive straight out onto the highway but this bus driver did not do that. It was pitch black outside no streetlamps either on those tiny roads so I couldnt see a thing out the window. I realized quickly he was taking random roads driving around on tiny roads out in the middle of nowhere though. I couldnt see anything but every now and then we passed a house and I could see we are not where we are supposed to be. We were in the woods somewhere on small roads. The bus was completely empty aside from me. My phone was dead. I was too anxious to walk up to him to ask him what is going on exactly. Eventually he did drive onto the highway about 15 minutes late. The entire bus ride took over 30 minutes which usually takes between 15 and 20. It was very scary because for all I knew he had ill intensions. I looked later online and the route has not been changed and there was no warnings or anything which said certain routes might need to be changed. He just drove around on random tiny roads in the forest for no reason, apparently... I was all shaky by the time I was home. I felt extra vunerable due to my phone being dead.
