"All of a sudden, it was like a veil came over me. Everything just went white and really quiet; like someone had cut the sound. I thought, I'm going to faint. Luckily I was near the front of the bus, so I took a couple of steps forward and asked the driver to stop, telling him I was going to be sick. He opened the doors and I stumbled out on to the pavement."
"I felt an arm around my waist and heard a man say, You right, love? I told this mysterious stranger that I needed to be sick. So he virtually carried me down into a nearby building and put me in the ladies' toilets. He asked me if I needed him to stay with me but I said no. A few minutes later I had recovered enough to sit on the toilet."
A commuter on a perpetually crowded express bus became extremely nauseous during a morning journey and tried to wait until her stop. As the bus neared the stop she began to faint, experienced a whiteout and muffled sound, and asked the driver to stop. She stumbled onto the pavement and attempted to reach a park but blacked out and began crawling. A man found her, carried her into a nearby building, and placed her in the ladies' toilets. He checked on her and offered to stay while she recovered. She spent several days recovering from a nasty tummy bug and never saw the man's face, only his legs and a tools container.
