I went on a school trip today to visit the Christmas lights at Red Square. We took the children off the bus to see the decorations and unfortunately the mini bus couldn't stop (the police wouldn't allow the bus to park). The bus driver was instructed to drive round the block and we would be back at the bus in 15 minutes. But the bus and the driver disappeared and we waited in Red Square with 15 children (age 4-6) for over an hour. The bus driver supposedly got stuck in traffic, so our head teacher gave us two options.
So we took 15 children on the second busiest underground in the world. The children were really well behaved, probably because they were out of their comfort zone. Most of the children had never been on the metro or a escalator! We got back to the school 2 ½ hours later than expected. We asked the children which part of the trip they enjoyed the most and all of the children answered the metro!
I am waiting for lots of parents to complain tomorrow, the majority of our children all have drivers don't do public transport. They have had a real life experience – how the normal people live in Moscow.
