With a Foot on the Bus	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })If an ongoing story has a cast of regular characters, it is common that new characters join it and others leave it. If the authors are not in the mood to actually kill him, he may be Put on a Bus to a distant location, alive and well, but not taking part in the story anymore. And even more, the bus may come back, or the character may be Commuting on a Bus. Or the bus may crash unexpectedly. But in some cases, the character never actually takes the bus. He announces that he will do it, he says all his goodbyes, finishes his unfinished business (or decides to leave it unfinished), gets packed, shows up at the station, hears the speaker announce the imminent departure of his bus... and never leaves. Perhaps his true love came to beg him "Please Don't Leave Me". Perhaps he reconsidered. Or perhaps a meteorite destroyed the only bridge out of town, so the bus can not leave. In any case, he was about to take the bus, but never did so, and stayed in the show. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The trick may also be pushed a little further when the character does leave, but returns so quickly that their absence becomes a mere technicality. When we say "quickly", we mean quickly as "in the very same episode" or perhaps the next one; no more than that. Usually, if he's a main character, this is as far as the bus will go, as an actual departure would be a very dramatic change, or even force the story to end on the spot. Did you think that he would really do it? For secondary characters, it is a way to point their importance to the story: if his leaving would change so much, that means he is important. Unlike when The Bus Came Back, this all happens within an episode or story arc. The usual Real Life Writes the Plot causes to put a character on a bus (the actor left, the writer does not like the character, executive meddling, etc) do not apply. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Not to be confused with Missed the Bus, which is the literal case. Of course, the examples may contain spoilers. But as the outcome is "in the end, the character does not leave", if you are watching reruns and have seen the work after this point, and the character is still around, you should have guessed it anyway.

Donna walks around to the bus, the bus leaves—and Donna is still standing there when it does, deciding she didn't want to leave Point Place and Eric after all.

With a Foot on the Bus / int_2675c915	comment	In the episode "The Only Light in the Darkness" of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., SHIELD does not exist anymore, and anyone can be a double agent of HYDRA. Coulson tells May that she must either follow his orders, or leave. She leaves, without saying goodbye to anyone (which would be totally in her style). But, as the story goes on, it becomes clear that she had not left to return home: she left to retrieve evidence that would prove her loyalty to Coulson.

With a Foot on the Bus / int_308aff67	comment	Viudas E Hijos Del Rock And Roll Vera, tired of the manipulations at the "Z-Rock" radio, left Buenos Aires and returned to Rosario, and only told Gabriela (who has letting her stay at her home) with a goodbye note. She did return to Rosario, but got in problems immediately: a drug dealer noticed the police at the Rosario bus station, left her luggage next to Vera (who was still sleeping), and run away. Vera, without suspecting anything, left the bus with that luggage, to ask what to do with it; and the police stopped her, checked it, and detained her for having a luggage full of drugs. Conveniently an Orphan, and without anyone else to ask for help, she made the One Phone Call to Gabriela, who was conveniently at home with all the guys interested in helping her. Subverted by the rancher Tony, who had to spend some time in Buenos Aires. Tired of Lourdes trying to have sex with him, and Segundo trying to have a romance with him (despite having a family), Tony headed to the bus station. Segundo followed him, and pleaded him not to leave... but hey, Tony is just returning to work at the Arostegui's ranch, just that.

She refuses and boards the bus, but as it drives away, Patrick says "What's so great about dumb old Texas?" The bus immediately returns and an angry Sandy steps out. This gives SpongeBob the idea of calling Texas bad names. This angered Sandy enough for her to chase after them and for them to lead her to the surprise: a Texas-styled party at Krusty Krab to make her feel "at home". It doesn't really remind her much of Texas, but does make her realize that her home is just wherever her friends are, so she stays.

With a Foot on the Bus / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who's rebooted 8th series played heavily with this. After the Doctor's regeneration, Clara is unsure if she likes the new him. Throughout the series there is increasing pressure from her growing relationship with Danny to put her adventures with the Doctor aside. In "Kill the Moon", the Doctor leaves Clara behind to save the world herself, and she is so upset by this that she decides to leave him. The prelude trailers for "Mummy on the Orient Express" don't show Clara at all; however, she does appear in this episode and, after affirming her decision to leave the Doctor throughout, has a heart-to-heart with him at the end and makes a sudden decision to stay with him after all. All this has been complicated by internet rumours that actress Jenna-Louise Coleman is leaving the show, which may have been planted in order to help viewers think she was really dropping out mid-series. Played with in "The Big Bang": Amy and Rory just got married and the Doctor received a distress call. The Doctor is about to take off and tells Amy and Rory, "Well, I guess this is goodbye." Amy agrees...then rushes to the TARDIS door and shouts out to the wedding reception, "Goodbye!" "Time-Flight" ends with Tegan finally making it back to her home time period after several failed attempts throughout the season and leaving the TARDIS. The following serial, "Arc of Infinity", has Tegan get involved in a plot by Omega, resulting in her joining the TARDIS crew once more.

With a Foot on the Bus / int_e293455a	comment	In the season 5 opener of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Giles confides to Willow that he's going to return home to England, because Buffy no longer requires his services as a Watcher. At the end of the episode, when he's about to tell Buffy, she specifically tells him she needs him as her Watcher, and Giles changes his mind. He spends the rest of the show's run with one foot on the bus, vacillating between whether Buffy truly needs him, or if he's holding her back by staying in Sunnydale.
