Recently I have been taking bus home. Yes it is a super 2 hour long journey (need to change 2 buses) but I prefer bus to Mrt because there are seats and it is not as crowded. I have enough of those squeezing and pushing and those rude people.
The recent few trips home on that particular no. bus is quite a not nice experience for me. Halfway through the trip, there is bound to be someone playing music loudly on the bus. In the past 1 month, I have heard at least 4 times, each time it is a different language. It is torture for me because 3 of the languages I cannot understand while the last one was Chinese but the uncle was playing the music behind me. Real Loud; think I am going deaf soon.
These people do not understand the meaning of “the bus is not owned by them”? Or they do not know that it is very irritating and there is something on earth known as earphone. Anyway the remaining times where music was not played was on those buses that had TVs on them. Maybe they think they cannot out play these TVs?
Peace and quiet is not necessary found on buses nowadays. I used and till now still like taking buses because it relax me and allow me to enjoy the scenery on the way home. Listening to my Iphone music and enjoying the air-con with the slow rocking motion of the moving bus just de-stress me.
I will still continue to take bus if I can. I do not mind the long journey because I can choose to read, sleep or just plain stare out of the window on the bus.
I just simply enjoy taking bus.
