Tales of Travelling by Public Transport


Most of my life I travelled in public transport. I continue to do so.  Reasons - I tend to get observe people and learn new things. Fresh insight into my thinking is partly due to the observation.  I get to see a different view as well to the problem I encounter.  Most of the time it is the positive attitude that I see in people including optimism which makes me to depend upon the public transport despite some negative side of the same and the time consuming of public transport travelling – you need to have the other side of the coin to appreciate the positive side.  Though I posted earlier similar stories I put a different title so I start this posting as the beginning of these tales. 


Good Samaritans plight
Quite often I read complaints against the public transport drivers. Once in a while I observe them most of the time I see them very passionate about their work, very careful, while driving. And most of the time on the bus bay I can see the various automobiles parked haphazardly and the commuters literally bloc the road, despite many times honking the horn hardly anyone cares. They also try to stop on the roads as the commuters generally – aged or women or children wave their hand. Drivers after all trying to be human stop the bus, in turn they get yelling.

Recently I was travelling in the evening a place normally buses ply at regular intervals one aged lady waved the hand on the busy area, to avoid traffic jam the driver tried to stop the bus after moving ahead of her, aged woman instead of thanking him started yelling for moving the bus away from her – driver, conductor tried to explain her about the situation – finally the driver has to say sorry I shouldn’t stopped the bus. I felt bad for him.
