A late-night bus ride from New York City to Washington, D.C., reportedly took a disturbing turn after one passenger claimed the trip suddenly went off course. The account, shared in a now-viral BlueSky thread, described growing confusion and fear after a driver switch at a rest stop.
The passenger, who posted from the account @musicologyduck.bsky.social, wrote that they had been asleep when things started to feel wrong. “I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place,” the user wrote Monday, Jan. 19, around 9 p.m.

The passenger claimed the driver insisted the riders were mistaken about where they were headed, posting, “They switched drivers at a rest stop and the new driver is telling everyone that they’re the ones on the wrong bus??”…
