Right, that's it, we're getting off.
The immortal words of every dad stuck in traffic on public transport.
Some say the bus is still there
But it's less common among visiting teams on their way to Arsenal.
Bodo/Glimt were forced to walk to the Emirates before their 3-0 defeat to the Gunners due to a bus malfunction.
With the vehicle apparently stuck on a tight north London bend, the players were filmed strolling up to the ground among supporters.
Bodo/Glimt posted a video of the walk alongside the caption: "The bus got stuck in the narrow back streets and we take our legs for the last hundred meters."
A second video, with the Emirates on the horizon, was companied by the message: "Club on tour."
The Norwegian champions have smashed Jose Mourinho's Roma and downed Celtic in recent years, but that did not earn them much recognition in the streets of Holloway.
Kjetil Knutsen and his men were able to hide in plain sight as fans watched this strange group of athletes in tracksuits with no idea they were the actual opposition.
In the end, the match was anything but a walk in the park for Bodo/Glimt, as Arsenal strolled past them on Thursday night.
Mikel Arteta's side were barely put through their paces as Eddie Nketiah, Rob Holding and Fabio Vieira delivered three points.
However, with the return fixture in Bodo - in the Arctic Circle - it's unlikely the visitors will be walking to the stadium.
"It will be in a different context. It's in their home and it's an astroturf pitch and we're not used to it so we'll have to adapt quickly," Arteta said.
