That caught my eyes last week... it was peak hours, around 7 pm, everybody's heading home... but the bus not too crowded... the last passenger boarded the bus... it's an old man, he boarded the bus, with the aid of a walking stick... he flashed the EZlink card at the card reader... having some difficulty, he moved to the seat nearest to the exit... and sat down...
So what???
OK, throughout the entire scene, the bus was not moving... so???? that's the difference! More often than not, the bus-driven will not take a second look after the last person boarded the bus... he will head off for the next stop... but not this one, until the old man sat down.
On the other hand, sometimes, just wondering... old folks with walking difficulties board the buses and started wondering... hey, why take the bus when you have problem lifting your legs or even walking (Ok, it's extremist thoughts)... or why pick such peak hours to travel? Don't you know it's rush rush hours? (er....) also, occasions when mothers who rush rush their young children up the buses during peak hours! Worse still, carry with them large bags and small bags... Hey, is that the best time???
... hm ...
Don't quite understand or figure out why??? or is it because I don't shop at peak hours, I yet have children to 'rush rush' around? Old age has not caught up with me yet??? Oops!!!
