He did say that his destination was not far from his house so he wouldn't have to drive his car to reach the place, but that was actually a lie.
He only knew that he wouldn't be able to focus if he needed to drive his car, and since he didn't want to get into an accident if he forced himself to drive, he chose to leave the vehicle in his boyfriend's hands.
His destination was not close to the old lady's house, and that was why he had to take a bus to reach the place. Luckily, his wallet was in his jeans pocket, and that was why he didn't have to embarrass himself when he had to pay for the bus.
In this city, the public transportation system was pretty well organized compared to other small towns or maybe villages in this country. When he needed to get on the bus, he needed to find the bus stop, and he also needed to do the same when he was about to get off the vehicle.
