Amazing that you were able to do that @DejaBrew
I think I would have resorted to a taxi and chase the bus.
A gear outcome nonetheless - enjoy your trip.
Cheers! I was just SUPER lucky that the bus I took broadly followed the same Metro line. Would have been disastrous for almost any other bus route I would normally take.
 
If by “lately” were including right now? Then sure!

On my way to SYD using bus/Metro/train. Got off the bus at the Metro station, got down to the platform and realised $@&#%¥ I left my laptop bag on the bus (complete with laptop, iPad, AirPods and oh yeah, my bloody passport!!!). :eek::eek::eek:

Thankfully was able to leave DejaBrew+1 at the station and hop another Metro a couple of stops away to leapfrog the bus and meet up with it again to retrieve my bag (which thankfully had not been touched). Crisis averted 😅

Back enroute to the airport now hoping that that’s the last of the dramas for this trip 🤞
This is my nightmare!!

Lesson learned @DejaBrew 🤭
Do what @Seat0B and I do, "Count Our Bags/belongings" whenever leaving taxi/PT/hotel/plane etc
Enjoy your trip ✈️
