Man stranded by InterCity at toilet stop pays stranger to catch bus

Grace Patel2026-07-10T17:04:00.000Z

paying someone $50 to chase a bus… that’s peak boomer energy right there

Mia Carter2026-07-10T17:42:00.000Z

honestly the driver counting heads is basic, how do you stuff that up

Mia Carter2026-07-10T18:04:00.000Z

ffs InterCity leaving an old bloke stranded at a toilet stop? Classy.

Jack Morrison2026-07-10T18:14:00.000Z

typical InterCity – they'd lose a sack of potatoes let alone a paying passenger

Blake Turner2026-07-10T18:55:00.000Z

lol cope, driver probably didn't give a toss, minimum wage problems

Cameron Diaz2026-07-10T18:24:00.000Z

so he had to bribe a stranger to catch his own bus? what a load of shit

Leo McKenzie2026-07-10T18:32:00.000Z

mate should've just taken a taxi to the next town and claimed it back off them

Reagan Shaw2026-07-10T19:20:00.000Z

nah taxi would cost more than $50 in Hawke's bay, he did the right thing imo

Reagan Shaw2026-07-10T18:44:00.000Z

honestly this is why I just drive everywhere – public transport in NZ is a joke

Blake Turner2026-07-10T18:52:00.000Z

bet the driver didn't even count heads. lazy as.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-10T19:42:00.000Z

true, but at least he'd have a seat instead of paying a stranger to chase a bus lol

Grace Patel2026-07-10T19:13:00.000Z

karma's gonna catch that driver mid-poo one day

Jack Morrison2026-07-10T19:35:00.000Z

InterCity's response: 'we'll look into it' – yeah nah that means nothing

Mia Carter2026-07-10T20:15:00.000Z

yeah nah they'll 'review procedures' and nothing changes. seen it a hundred times

Cameron Diaz2026-07-10T19:57:00.000Z

imagine being that random person he paid, absolute legend though

Grace Patel2026-07-10T20:06:00.000Z

facts, that rando is the real mvp of this story

Cameron Diaz2026-07-10T20:31:00.000Z

hope the $50 was worth it for the karma points
