    Why did the writer not get off the bus at Woodford Green?

    I love travelling in the country, but I don't like losing my way.
    I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.
      'I'm going to Woodford Green,' I said to the conductor as I got on the bus, 'but I don't know where it is.'
      'I'll tell you where to get off.' answered the conductor.
      I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside. After some time, the bus stopped. Looking round, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.
      'You'll have to get off here,' the conductor said. 'This is as far as we go.'
      'Is this Woodford Green?' I asked.
      'Oh dear,' said the conductor suddenly. 'I forgot to put you off.'
      'It doesn't matter,' I said. 'I'll get off here.'
      'We're going back now,' said the conductor.
      'Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus,' I answered.
