I hate and I love buses...

Don't you think after paying so much bus fare, bus companies sld improve on some of their services? Instead of saying they had earned NOT enough PROFITS for the past year and thus raised the fare, why dont they change sumthing and make them earn more?

Alot of you take buses almost everyday, except I know some richies take cab or even drive or have parents driver, I bet you met the below senarios.

Scene 1.

Time: High peak, everyone rushing home for dinner and TVs.
The bus came to view, although its still like miles away, all of us crowded to the front where the door usually stop and try to shift position so that you get few empty seat. When its approaching, you can see that its crowded at the front, and we start to push even more cuz we dont want to miss that bus to reach home early.

The bus arrived and stopped infront of you, but the driver refused to open the door. You start thinking, "Shit! Its too full." But if you shift your eyes to the back, its quite empty, and start wondering, are there ghosts inside? Why the retards dont move in?

When you start pushing in until you are like sardines packed into the can, the only word the driver would say is, "CAN THE DOOR CLOSE OR NOT?!" And then procceed forcing the door close and wont stop at the next few stops.

But what if he say, "Can the ppl behind move in or not?"
The later earn the company a few more dollars, and spend less on fuel. Its just like packing more sardines into the can. (but if you are the manufacturer you lugi)

The first usuali come from the bus in red and purple. And the 2nd oni the white and red bus driver will say. And the R&P keep complaining they had not enough profit. (and you think commuters have enough to feed the family?) And the drivers usualli are rude and bad tempered.

Solution: Employ loud voice drivers, or install mics so that the driver can announce the situation infront and even those loud MUSIC idiots can hear them say. How much does it cost to install a mic? But I bet you earn more from cheating commuters.

We have no choice but to take the pathetic buses and so they are not afraid that commuters boycot their service.


Scene 2.

After waiting for a long time and the bus finally appear, you a board happily and scan your card, only to discover that the bus smelles and sometimes it felt like an oven.

Commuters pay and they didn bother to maintain that stupid lousy bus. And suffers all the way till you reach your destination, it can be like 10 min or up to an hour! Well you might already have immue to that smell so you enjoy more then half of your journey. And you smell nice after you got off that bus.


Scene 3.

This usually happens to the taller and long legged. The seats are too cramp to keep they thighs straight! Damn it and I'm one of them. I have bad backbones too, thus i have to place my knee up to the back of the front seat, its not nice i know, the ppl infront might not like it too, BUT WHAT TO DO! JAM MY THIGHS THERE AND HAVE NUMB LEGS WHEN I ALIGHT AND STAY AT THE STAND UNTIL I GOT THE FEELINGS BACK?! I might have even fallen down the stairs b4 i reach the bus stop.


What i mean is, well, maybe they cant do everything right, but at least improve on these stated here, especially to the first 2. These are esay tasks, and TRAIN GOOD DRIVERS! I HATE SBS DRIVERS, SNOBBISH AND ARROGANT BUNCH. Chat so loudly on the bus as if there are no other passengers on board. TIBS are abit better, but i think they can improve also.
