Train or bus not moving fast enough for you
Stopping at to many places just to let irrating people on
Bus takes a route that is not direct and you think it would be improved by avoiding a housing estate, or by using for instants a motorway, 1 way street (the wrong way) or farmers field
Simple solution, get in the front and drive it yourself. Quicker and fun !!

This reminds me of a Zimbabwean crop-sprayer I met in Malawi. When work was low, perhaps on the off-season, he used to fly business passengers who wished to commute from say, Harare to Bulawayo.
Anyway, once, when his passengers had boarded, he climbed aboard and sat down among them. After five or so minutes of tutting and clock-watching, he moved up to the pilot's seat, donned the biggles helmet and started flicking switches and twiddling knobs ...
"Let's see if we can get this baby started."
Of course, he knew what he was doing and got airborne. I just wish I could've seen the passengers' faces.
