PEACEFUL DAY

Have you ever had bad experiences on public bus rides? I believe out of 10, maybe around 3 will have bad experiences on bus rides. Regardless you sat beside a crazy woman, or even somebody farting causing "pollution" in the bus. Or even caught up fighting in the bus.

Today, I took a bus with my mum back home from Tampines. It took quite some time waiting for the bus to arrive. But what's new? Anyway, it was around 6.15pm and the bus was as usual, crowded. My right hand was carrying some heavy things, that I need to tranfer the bags from one hand to another. I couldn't get myself a sit and I have to stand throughout the whole journey.

Yes, the bus was super packed with people and I really feel like a loser standing at the tail at the bus, holding to two heavy bags. More and more people were trying to squeeze in and it happens that the bus driver kept playing the voice record to convince the people to move back so that other passengers can board on. BUT THE PROBLEM WAS, there wasn't anymore space!

It is FINE with you play that damn thing for once, but I was thinking why do he have to play it 2,3 times in a row? It was very irritaing and I really felt agitated. But the worst was yet to come.

What was the bus-stopping bell for? To stop the bus at the next bus stop. A young lady pressed the bell and the bus driver refused to open the door. Instead, he kept playing the damn voice record and letting people to board on the bus when there were like...NO MORE SPACE. Wow...how professional. But that young lady did alight after the bus driver realise..."oh~~somebody pressed the bell."

Wth?

AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN!!

A old man tried to alight but the bus driver close the front door, he DID NOT open the back door to let people exit, HE DROVE OFF.

Omg?

What is happening here? Is this a social phenomenon? I was totally surprised and shock to experience that because if I were to put myself in the victim's shoes today, I would have gone crazily swearing at the bus driver!
