Things I won't miss about public transport

18 october 2009

  1. Open mouth coughing
  2. Stupid and loud ringtones
  3. Courtesy… Can’t anyone vacate their seat for the elderly?
  4. The crowds
  5. The mystery of time… I like mystery but I also like to think I’ll be on time
  6. Body odour
  7. Heavy brakers… You know when you go flying up the bus aisle
  8. Inflicting music tastes on others… We can all hear it
  9. No eating no drinking no fun to be had
  10. And lastly the recent price hikes…

I must say though I seriously will miss bus driver George (AKA Captain George), in the last year or so that I’ve been using Sydney public transport I have only ridden his bus once. He is the most entertaining driver ever and made my trip that morning one of the most memorable (for all the right reasons). To all bus drivers like him… I salute you, you can change someones commuting experience. Until then bring on walking or possibly a bicycle.

I can only shake my head at the people wearing the obnoxiously loud heaphones. Obviously, they don't realize that they destroyed their tympanic membranes long ago and are now nearly deaf.
