Everyday when I take bus, I will get to see many different types of behaviour walking down the streets. To me, public transport is my one and only transportation mode and it is very important for me not to miss the right timing to get into the bus. Therefore, every time when I see a bus, I will run as fast as I could to reach and get board. However, there are always people who don't really show how much they need the bus, instead, they would blame the bus not to wait for them.
Every time before the day I go out, I will plan the next day outing as in what time shall I get ready to out so that I will be on time and be punctual to reach my destination. To reach my Uni, I will need to allocate two hours at least. If I am lucky, I just need one and a half hour to reach to Uni. Many do not understand why I need such a long time as I need to inter-transit for three times, some will even ask why I look so tired, or some will say I am lucky as I do not have to stuck in a jam and wasting time to find parking. Actually we as public transportation users, do have our own problem as well. When the bus did not follow the original route, we will need to stop further and walk back to our destination. When the bus came late, we will be affected as well as we do not know exactly what time the bus will reach. When the bus is full of passengers, the bus driver may not even stop and pick you up regardless how long have you been waiting. When we were stuck in the bus, and the bus is stuck in the jam, to those standing passengers, we may have to stand for hours before we get home. Everyone has their own problem, so we must be considerate to everyone.
However, I do appreciate our public transport even though their service might not be consistently good. But still, some other country might not providing public transportation to its own citizens. Therefore, I think everyone should show some appreciation or at least show some simple and basic manner when taking public transportation. Sometimes I feel so sorry to those driver when I see passengers make fun of them. If you want to take stop the bus, please raise your hand and stop the bus but not just stand at the bus stop and expect it to stop for you. When the bus stops for you, please walk faster to get into the bus, do not let everyone in the bus to wait for you. You may not know your few seconds of slow walk may caused others late for interview or to meet boss. When you want to take bus, please be alert on bus that pass by. Don't blame the bus if you are the one not paying attention. When you want to get down at the next bus stop, press the bell once, don't make the driver angry by keep pressing the bell. Before you enter the LRT, please let the passengers to come out before you go in. If you see someone in need to be seated, please stand out and let them sit. Don't pretend that you can't see or you are sleeping.
I do believe in karma, if you want others to treat you well, you must treat others well too. As this universe understand what signal you have sent out and it will return the same to you. I have started to thank the bus driver every time when I get down from the bus. I respect bus drivers, public transporter because if they do not exist, I will not be able to go to my Uni and get education.
Thanks to the existence of public transport.
Pray for MH370, wish everyone well.
