The MiG took off, the bus pulled to a stop, and the driver switched off the engine. The people in the cabin were quiet, hoping the driver would ignore it and it would come through. But the driver came out of his cab and said in irritation, “Alright, looks like the air raid alert is on, here we are. Time to hop out.” Kyiv remains one of only three Ukrainian regional centers where public transport stops during air raids.
