Sorry Bus driver is Sorry

This was one of the hilarious images attached to the "Laptop Steering Wheel Desk" product page on Amazon. The concept of a laptop desk for your steering wheel (it took me a while to parse what the product was actually about!) is hilariously mockable, but the customers at Amazon have done a fine job of that already.
I want to talk about Sorry Buses.
In Vancouver the buses flash "Sorry" and then "Not In Service" a fraction of a second later when they are not picking passengers up. I call them "Sorry Buses". Since I have good long-distance vision, I can spot them a long way away, much like larch trees.
So sometimes my wife will ask if our bus is coming and I can reply: "No, it's a Sorry Bus."
But not as sorry as this bus driver probably was!
