Answer in First Trainer. Wrong or correct?
Hello everyone, I have a question about one answer in listening's part in First Trainer book.
The question say:
You hear a bus driver talking about his job. Which aspect of his work does he sometimes really dislike?
A driving in city traffic
B dealing with passengers
C starting work early
Transcript:
From spring until autumn I really enjoy being one of the first people up and about in the morning, though in the darker months it cant get me down. I suppose it's the same for everyone passengers, but chatting with them always cheers me up and I hope the same efect on them. Of course in a big city like this there are terrible traffic jams in the morning, and you can see car drivers looking at their watches and getting really stressed out. But they can't use bus lanes, which make like a lot easier for people like me during rush hours.
I answer C, but the answer in the book is A. They underlined " in the darker months it cant get me down" and it refers to start work early, doesn't it? Because, people have problems with the traffic jams, but he hasn't.
Which do you think is the correct answer?
Thanks a lot.

He says - I really enjoy being one of the first people up, and he enjoys talking with passengers. He says watching car drivers look at their watches stresses him out. So, it must be A.
Even though he says getting up early in the dark can get him down, he still enjoys being one of the first people up. When he is down in the darker months, chatting with passengers cheers him up.
