On The Bus #29... or The Auntie Bus Driver

Boarded a bus; the driver was a woman in her mid-40s.

Bus pulls into a bus stop a few stops down the road. Two women board the bus, asking for directions to go to Location X.

The bus driver gives the two women the directions to their destination. They were on the wrong side of the road (they should've boarded a bus from the bus stop opposite the road).

The two women gets off the bus, intending to cross the road to the bus stop opposite the road.

The bus driver holds them back, telling them that she will drive them to the next bus stop, from which the bus-stop opposite would be closer to walk to compared to the one opposite the current stop. The bus stop opposite the current stop was blocked by construction works, hence requiring a detour.

The two women stay on the bus beside the bus driver's seat.

Red light comes on at the next junction, and a conversation springs up between them, just like one from your local wet market.

The two women didn't pay for the one-stop ride, naturally. :)
