Explanation:
had never had the pleasure of travelling in a public transport bus, till one day, as I came out of our gate, I saw an air-conditioned bus waiting across the road at the bus stop. It was the month of June, unbearably hot and dry. But the doors of the bus were closed with the air-conditioning on, and both driver and conductor were relaxing inside. What was shocking was that all the passengers waiting to board the bus were standing outside, roasting in the blistering heat. I somehow just couldn't bear to see their plight. The activist in me forced me to cross the road and ask them why they were also not inside, in the air-conditioned comfort. They just shrugged helplessly and said the driver was not opening the door.
So I went and knocked on his window. "Why are you not letting all those people waiting outside also get in?" He raised his index finger and said, "The bus will go at one o’clock."
"That is fine, but you can at least let the waiting passengers also sit inside; the air-conditioning is on anyway. Otherwise don’t waste the diesel, both of you also come out and switch off the air-conditioner.
But he just ignored me, till I urged everyone to also insist. At last, with the help of the traffic constable at the crossing nearby, we all managed to get in.
So I decided I will also try ‘bus-ing’ it, if only for the experience. I tried it the next day. It was such a pleasant surprise when I realised that it cost just Rs.10 for me to reach the destination in comfort, right up to the gate of my brother's house. I could look out and admire the greenery or read a book with no worry about traffic jams or unruly two-wheeler drivers which hassles one so much when one is driving oneself.
As I took to travelling by bus more often, I had some interesting experiences. One day a boy got in from the entrance at the back and walked to the front of the bus. The conductor shouted at him, "Buy the ticket."
"What’s the hurry?" asked the boy, "I have far to go, I’ll buy it". So the conductor started attending to other passengers. He called out again after a while, but the boy had the same reply.
At last, when his destination came and he was about to get down, the conductor reached him.
