Hope is a great theme for your Senryu. All the places you mentioned can be filled with different kinds of hope: hope to catch the bus on time,hope that crime will be less this next year, hope God has heard our prayers. Your poem is so well done.

    Thank you Ramfire, I was beginning to lose hope in my ability to handle these Japanese formats of Haiku and Senryu.

You've pointed out the message very well in this contest entry. It offers a lot to think about regarding the meaning people apply to love and the way it is shown. I enjoyed reading this very much.

Hello. Very lovely choice of words and description with this Senryu. If there is one thing we all have in common is that we all have the intensity to love and hope. Good luck and cheers.

While I agree that senryu don't need to follow the 5/7/5 form, this particular contest requires that syllable count, but your count is 5/6/6
good consonance of soft S sounds in city bus
You don't have the satire/irony I associate with the senryu, but the contest doesn't include that in its rules, so that is the contest's fault.
On its own, I like the mood your poem creates :-) brooke

    Oh thank you I fixed the count. I thought irony is the sign on the bus is not the only place for love
