So, Arthur used to ride the bus? Yes Relevant to where? Work? Relevant which bus? At this point, it's only relevant that he rode the bus regularly.
Then, Arthur stopped riding the bus because he believed a fortune teller who said that he would die in a bus? Yes
Does Arthur then take alternate forms of transportation instead of riding the bus? Yes,
which is pretty irrelevant.
Does Arthur then drastically change the way he lives his life? Yes! Does he take to a life of crime? No, he may partake in some petty crimes. Does he let himself go and live in despair? In fear? No! Explore.
Now, Arthur rides the bus again? Despite him still believing the fortune to be true? Yes to both.
Is Arthur old enough that he no longer cares that much about dying? No
Does Arthur believe that there is an even higher likelihood that he would die earlier if he does not ride the bus? No, he still completely believes he'll die on the bus.
Is Arthur simply tired of fearing for his life on the bus? No, but you're exploring the right train of thought.
When he wasn't riding the bus did he incur significant financial losses? Significant financial gains? Was he okay with potentially dying because he would leave more money for family/friends/others? Is a gang after him? Is there a hit out on him? No to all. Has he committed a serious crime? Many? In the time he wasn't riding the bus? Before? Is he about to commit a crime? I'm a bit confused because you said it's quite possible he committed a crime when he wasn't riding the bus, but you earlier said that crime isn't relevant. I'm sorry, i see you're right. Crime is not hugely relevant, but Arthur may have committed some small crimes in his time off he bus. HINT: Possibly of the trespassing variety.
I'm gathering that he availed himself of other modes of transportation while he wasn't riding the bus. I'm thinking then that he wasn't incarcerated. Would I be correct in thinking this? He was not incarcerated. Does he fear incarceration? No Does he fear something else more than he fears dying on a bus? Yesish, otrt
