every bus has its day

I couldn't help feeling sadistic when I saw a bus broken down at Engin Fac bus stop.

Muhahahahaha...
(can't understand why when buses break down they always manage to crawl to a bus stop)

I can't help hating buses nowadays, when actually I used to love buses.

When four bus 74 pass by and not even one 151, you really feel like showing your middle finger to the innocent bus 74 driver.
Then after waiting for 30 minutes the two 151 come together, and the empty one refuses to stop, you really want to slap the driver with your ezlink card. (2 beeps if you are using concession)

It works this way: the service number that you are waiting for will really make you wait, whereas those you ain't taking will arrive as if every other second. So you have to bluff yourself by saying "no I'm not taking 151, I'm waiting for ______ (fill in any bus service number except 151)" then you won't feel like you wait so long for 151.

Erm, if you happen to bluff yourself so perfectly, you may end up not boarding the 151 when it comes.

  • either you forget what bus number you are actually taking, see the bus enter the stop, wonder why it's so familiar and just when you remember why, it pulls out of the bus stop...

    or end up boarding another bus just because you're pissed off.. that'd be interesting.. =)

  • dj_niwde: they do follow a timetable here, just that... you only see bus drivers looking at their timetable while they are driving.. (serious!)
