Written scenario · Communication, Equity
Announced once, in English
You are riding a city bus across town on a route you know well.
The driver announces, once and quickly in English, that a road closure means the bus will skip several stops. You only half caught which ones. A few passengers clearly did not understand, among them Pilar, the woman beside you, who asked you earlier in careful English whether this bus goes to the clinic. A minute ago the driver, in heavy traffic, snapped at a rider who questioned him, and a sign asks passengers not to talk to him while the bus is moving. Others are watching and saying nothing. If you guess at the stops you may send Pilar the wrong way; pressing the driver could distract him.
