The Hexagon Centre Bus Station wraps around three sides of the structure. It’s one of those places where you know all of the benches of old from waiting for buses after numerous journeys back from shopping expeditions with family and acquaintances.
Bae leads you around to Zone D, where services towards Waterworks Corner and Quatrefour Retail can be found. It starts to rain outside.

”That’s cool!” you say.
”Yeah, it got me all of the way to Co-op, but on the way back it was pouring and I got soaked. The weather was just luring me out.”
”Here’s our bus!” you announce.
