Sardine can? or not.

There are two buses that heads towards university on the same route. One is sort of express, from interchange to university without stopping. I have to take the other one.

So on a fine cooling and morning, I walked towards the bus stop while gentle breeze gently massage my face. I wanted to study in university for the whole day. I admit it is quite hard for me to make that decision :P. But I am in a good mood because the weather is good.

And I waited at the bus stop.

In a modern country that pride itself with its public transport, how long does it take to get on board a loop bus service? 10? 20? 30? I would say more than 35 minutes.

People waited in dismay as we saw not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 direct express bus passed by without one normal bus.

After what seems like an eternity (especially for those who are going for 8.30am class), bus arrive at 8.45am. As usual, I took a peek at the upper deck and found it to be empty. So I boarded the bus with dozen others. I was curious to see that other people are contented to stand at the lower deck, blocking other people from getting to the upper deck and thus depriving passengers from boarding the bus, even when there are plenty of seats at the upper deck.

Is my brain faulty or is it theirs? Given a choice of seating down comfortably with air-cond blowing down directly, they chose to stand and squeeze and sweat?

Weird. Lol
