Stories of my journey through public transport: Why people behave this way?


As usual I was travelling in public transport. Today had to go around the city and certain observations of mine remained with me. In most cases I empathise with staff of public transport for their manner in which they deal the issues.


1. One student got into the bus and the conductor asked for the pass (for students carrying ID card of the educational institution is mandatory) he started searching and when the conductor reminded about the mandatory aspect he just was not ready to listen.

2. Many people got into bus with earplugs or talking over mobile and when the conductor asks them the destination to give a ticket poor conductor keeps on shouting on top of his voice, these people don't even has the courtesy of removing earplugs or stop talking over the mobile atleast to answer the conductor. Are we so busy that we don't have  second to answer the destination of travel.

3. During my trip in a bus (This is the first trip after lunch to the staff of the bus), one gentleman gets into the bus, when the conductor asks for his destination and that gentleman takes out Rs.2000/- note can you believe for how much the cost of the ticket, Rs.5/-. Poor conductor was shocked, in the bus only 4 people were travelling out of which only 2 people gave change.

I really felt sorry for the conductors. How do one need to deal with such people.
