[ And what a ride! It takes at least 45 minutes to do most of the circuit to the 'end of the line', which doesn't appear all that far from where they boarded, and many passengers board and disembark during that time. Some even complain about the time it has taken.
The stops all have pillars beside them, marks with colours and numbers, and shelter from the sun - rain seems highly unlikely out here. There are also digital time tables with timed to the minute arrival and departure times, with live updates as and when required.
By the time they reach the stop they boarded at, Sophia isn't ready to get off. Partially because people watching has taking up her attention -- particularly the strangely subdued folks in greys and light browns who sometimes followed in the wake people of evident social stature. People don't even seem to acknowledge them, and they never meet the eyes of those around them..
But, mostly, because a different library is across the street four stops from now. It's one she hasn't been to yet. She turns to Waver. ]

Getting off here? Or staying a bit longer?
