It belongs to a list of english words, which are the most difficult for translating. Serendipity means "the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way".

Driving the bus
You think it's something like this?
Nothing of the kind!
The meaning is the following:
To unintentionally drive a common route. To turn on the mental autopilot and arrive toward a location other than your desired destination. For example, if you set out to drive to the store, but after a few minutes find that you are halfway to your place of work.

Example:
If I'm not careful, I end up driving the bus to work on Saturday mornings.
