Malaysia's Public Transport

as usual, if you are to wait for a public transport in malaysia, you need one vital attitude...PATIENCE. and there is a LAW that you need to understand : the bus that you want to get on board is always the hardest to wait for compared to the other buses. and when finally you see the bus coming and you start to continuously flap your arms, signalling for the bus to stop, the bus just zoom off in front of you. ARGH...! so PISSED off lar!!! then, no choice. you have to wait and wait and wait patiently again...

and FINALLY, another bus came, you boarded the bus and ~Voila!~a whole new world! the bus is sooooooo crammed, or like what my friends will always say, "packed like sardines". and yet, when the bus stops at another bus stop, new passengers will keep on squeezing their way into the already-packed-bus. that's when everyone in the bus gets so "intimate" with each other. bodies jostling and hands here and there, searching for support(be it intended or accidental, you know what i mean). also, you can have "aromatherapy" session...for FREE! though most of the "aromas" are weird and hard-to-find, mostly sour...salty?

haih...what to do? public bus is cheaper mah...and nobody likes waiting since they have to wait like hell for the next bus. you can't blame them, really! i am like that too!

well, that's the public bus. the commuter train is almost the same too. the commuter trains during peak hours are really...uhmmm...

once the train stops and the door slides open, everyone will be pushing forward in such a "kiasu" manner that outgoing passengers are often stucked. then, the "compact-ness" in the train allows you to stand steadily meaning that you won't fall down even when the train is taking a turn because everyone is so tightly squeezed to each other that there is hardly any room for you to fall down. yeah...you can breathe in various "bodily scents".

haih...that's our beloved public transports.;P
