Public Transport - Trains (9)

My colleague from Singapore was discussing about the public transport system in our country. He made a point when he said that actually the train routes have covered many places. I don't know what the people living in Subang would think, as the LRT routes has yet to be implemented over there. But I'll still say that I can't comprehend the reason why Sentul can't be part of the route to Rawang. Sentul trains serve so few people, yet there are so many trains servicing the Sentul route & they always come on time. Unlike the Rawang trains, where you would have to wait an hour to go on a train like this...



This picture was taken only yesterday (26/3/2007), and I dare say that such sights can be seen on a weekly basis (at least). And it's in such situations that the idiots in us surface and make things worse. Sometimes I can't blame them for forcing their way into the crowded trains and thus causing more discomfort to everyone. If you ever had a bad way at work, surely you know how desperate we all can be to go home, even if it's just 5 minutes earlier.

Yet there are certain things that certain people do that make you wish you had super powers...

I have no problem with people resting during working hours. In fact, I believe it's necessary. I mean, you would at least have to consider toilet breaks, right? Why did this guy have to create his own "REHAT" sign? Is KTM abusing their workers? And why isn't there another person standing by the ticket counter?

Sometimes I like to lean against the pole too. BUT NOT WHEN THE PLACE IS PACKED & EVERYONE'S STRUGGLING TO BALANCE THEMSELVES!! You think they're just ignorant and stupid, so you say "Excuse Me" and hope they would get the message. But don't be shocked when the only thing that they move is their head to look at your direction and their eye balls to stare at you...

Hey....i always had bus problems. just like u, always waiting for long hours and giving crap excuses. dahlah the name RAPID but soooooo SLOW!! Before the bus change its service and after it change its service also the same! Die heart don't change ( translate it to mandarin ). Today when i took the bus as usual to school, i payed RM1. Then in the evening, i wanted to go somewhere so i was thinking i'm having the same ticket, i can use it again. Then waiting for more than half an hour, my bus finally came. When my friend and i board on the bus and show the ticket the driver said that we could not use that ticket!!!!So ridiculous!!! we told him that we are students taking the bus from morning and use it again( because we paid student price in the morning). Then we have to get down the bus and waited for another half an hour for another bus!! We were so humiliated and feel like scolding the man "BERAPA KALI NAK BELI TIKET DALAM SEHARI??KITA STUDENT DAH BELI SEKALI GUNALAH UNTUK SATU HARI!!NAMA JE RAPID! TAPI STUPID BETUL!!" wahahahaha!! But at last we blessed him because its no good to curse... sigh.... Did you ever take rapid?? you should try it instead of KTM. =P
