How do you apologize for missing the bus?

If you are late for a meeting because traffic was bad or you missed your bus, don't blame the traffic or the bus for your mistake. Rather, say something like: “I'm so sorry I am late; it was completely my fault for missing my bus and I will make sure this doesn't happen again”.

Your child should also receive a negative consequence for missing the bus. Remove a privilege, such as all electronics (TV, video games, computer, etc.) on the days he misses the bus. If you end up driving him to school, make him pay your time and gas money (similar to the price he might pay if he called a cab).

The correct statement is, “I missed the bus,” or “I missed the train.” It is important to understand that “to miss” someone or something can mean two things. As with buses and trains, it can mean you didn't arrive on time to get a ride.
