this problem appears twice.
First of all I would like to meet this doctor who takes the bus!
Second I would like to meet a doctor who visits homes!
This person is not in the USA for sure!
It sounds like their are basically only two choices . Which bus?
If I am reading it right, he follows the same route visiting patients no matter which bus he takes.
