Missed the bus
How would you say "I missed the bus" in Spanish?

In context. I was two minutes late and I missed the bus/plane/train, etc.

In Puerto Rico, there is a van service in towns, this costs about 25 American cents and people call it "la guagua publica".

Peceras n Colectivo buses are called "la ama", or "la guagua ama". Thats because of the name of the national company that operates those services "AMA Inc".

De acuerdo con Hernán.

"To miss", en este caso, es "perder".

Por cierto, Hernán, acá diríamos "se me fue el camión", pero también hay "el/la micro", "el pesero", "la pesera".

@Poli: "Colectivo" se usa poco en la Ciudad de México. Quizás en otras regiones del país. Por cierto, sé que en Tijuana, se dice "calafia", pero no conozco más variantes.

No sabía que usaban colectivo también. En Chile un colectivo es un taxi que tiene un cierto recorrido, pero con el beneficio de que te lleva lo más cerca de tu casa posible, si no hasta la misma puerta.
