always give yourself some time to walk to the stop

just in time for the bus at the otherwise empty stop.

The best thing about poormen's travel is in it's requirement of compliancy. You have to wait for the bus to arrive, possibly delayed, or risk losing your ride home. You have to refuse any temptation to stay longer than the scheduled time, or you'll end up walking 10 kilometres. You have to have some discipline basically, or your trip gets rip to shreds.

Which is ironic. All this restrictions have to be adhered to during your travels if you want to be 'free'
