Question

Personal experience on My first bus journey

Answer 1

I 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.
