The Universal Express

It was a cool October night in 1956. Adrian hadn't looked back at the orphanage he'd suffered in for years. He ran to the transit station, but had no money to ride a bus.
"No ticket no ride," the driver said, kicking him off the bus.
"A bus will be arriving shortly," an old lady told him.
"I don't have any money," Adrian replied.
The old lady laughed, "Oh dear, you don't pay, you just get on"
