Public Transportation

Well this thing is a nightmare.....public transportation might just be the stupidest thing one can do here after shooting yourself up with aids. 2 - 3 hour waits, for a bus? and the changed the routes so now instead of taking 1 bus to your destination they chopped it off in 2 or 3 trips in different buses(supposedly, making the routes shorter would provide with a much quicker service....they were wrong) Anyways, I've been taking public transportation all my life, literally, when I was a small child(like 8) me and my brother (9 at the time) decided to tell my mom to let us take the bus by ourselves, why? Because she had to go out of her job, take a bus and reach our elementary then wait for us and THEN we all went home together....we thought that was a waste of time since we we're already grown up(kids always think that they're not kids) so we convinced her to let us go on our own.

I've never regretted it since it made me responsible of myself and made me conscious to the sacrifices my parents took for me, but taking the bus is truly an experience. I've seen so much shit that I could talk your ear off with stories but I think the funniest moment I passed was when a man was rapping/wooing a woman, her friend thought it was funny or something(they apparently didn't know the guy) yet he accidentally(probably in the course of the rapping) spit on the girl and all hell broke loose. She was pissed, she stood up shouting and insulting him displaying a wide vocabulary and then HE got pissed and they started shouting back and forth. Slowly tension grew and the man(no surprise there) wanted to get physical but the woman didn't want to back down and urged him on to fight her. As always I just sat patiently waiting for it to end and just like I predicted the woman's bus stop arrived and she left, and now THIS was the most fun part for me....The man then started preaching how much of a good christian he was, I didn't laugh in his face since I don't like disrespecting people that way but yeah, I thought he was a hypocrite.

That's a normal day on the bus for me....

  8. The public transport in Australia is the equivalent of sitting in dry urine while watching homeless people shit and piss everywhere.
    The equivalent? no, it IS what public transport in Australia is. Add some drunks and a pinch of aboriginals fighting with us "White mutts" and you've got yourself some stinky, sweaty entertainment.
