Q.1.10 Buses depart from Park Station every 24 minutes, starting at 06:06. Anna arrives (3) at the station at 06:40. How long will she wait for the next bus to depart? A. 24 min B. \( \quad 30 \mathrm{~min} \) C. 6 min D. \( \quad 14 \mathrm{~min} \) E. \( \quad 20 \mathrm{~min} \)

The buses leave every 24 minutes starting at 06:06. The departure times are as follows: 06:06, 06:30, 06:54, and so on. Anna arrives at 06:40, so she misses the 06:30 bus. The next bus after that is at 06:54. To find out how long she will wait, we can calculate the time difference: 06:54 - 06:40 = 14 minutes. So, Anna will wait for 14 minutes for the next bus to depart. The correct answer is D. 14 min. Now for some fun facts! Anna is not alone; buses have been a popular mode of public transport for over a century! The first motorbus service began in Paris in 1905, changing the way people commuted forever. Can you imagine what public transport looked like before buses made it easier for everyone? If you plan to take public transport regularly, it’s a good idea to download an app that displays real-time schedules. Some common mistakes include arriving late and miscalculating wait times. With those apps, you’ll be one step ahead, and maybe you’ll be able to grab a coffee while waiting!
