The bus stop here at my host’s place on Martinique is only like 50 meters away. The final bus stop in the other direction is only a couple of minutes away. So it would be worth observing the busses going to the final stop, assuming they will actually return after like 10 minutes or so. The advantage: as long as they don’t pass by, they also won’t return in my direction, so it’s not worth running to the bus stop. The busses are late quite often a litte late, and also sometimes they don’t show up at all.
